Precious

​​Welcome to the Eclectic Middle School Library Media Center wikispace. This is a space for students, parents, staff and friends of our library to share information about books and library events.

.It is under construction, so check again soon for updates to our wiki. Lately I've noticed on the signature of many emails that the senders will list the name of a book they are reading. So I just thought I'd say on my page that I am reading //The Help// by Kathryn Stockett. Before this book, I most recently finished //Push// by Sapphire - also known as Precious. The movie Precious won Oscars this week - one for Best Screenplay Adaptation. Precious (Push) is one of the most difficult books I've ever read. I think it should be required reading for every teacher - we never know what situations our students are coming from. If you want to read the book, prepare for very foul language and disturbing sexual content. But it's real life. It's not an enjoyable read but a meaningful one.
