What does he do with the rest of the day? In hometown district all three middle-school grades take this class. The other […]
I just finished the almost 570-page novel Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski. It took me months to read this mega-novel; especially because I only read at night before bed. There are some nights when I can’t read at all because I’m just too tired (and this book was heavy – both physically and emotionally –
