First Book Assignment

I've been dying to teach "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski. This book spoke to me on many levels and I think my students would find in endearing and moving. I listened to it the first time around and am excited to read it. I think the process of reading it will bring me a different kind of enjoyment. It's in the running for 8th grade. There is some questionable language but I think it can be overlooked due to the depth of the content. I'm excited to talk about it.
