The DU Lounge

My sixth grade teacher would read to us after lunch for 15 minutes. The books stretched out over a week or 2. I offered a book for her to read. The Magic of Oz, by L. Frank Baum. She thought it was too long, but said she'd read a little. The whole class loved it and she read the whole thing. She read other books over the year, too. Another one I remember is about a young black girl going to a newly integrated elementary school. I don't remember the title, but the story was unforgettable.
