| CONDUCTOR'S CORNER |
All Aboard!!
The summer months have quickly passed us by, and another school year is upon us. The start of another year brings the unique feelings of hopefulness and excitement about the joys of the school experience. It is with that same hopefulness and excitement that we, at the Railroad Book Depot, would like to wish our Pittsburg students a successful 2012-13 school year.
In an effort to provide support to our students, we will be hosting a Welcome Back to School Mixer for our students and their families on September 29, 2012. So mark your calendars and look out for the invite, for it will be sent home with Pittsburg students.
Please Note: The Railroad Book Depot is here for you, the community, and we look forward to serving you always.
Thank You.

| September Featured Books | 
The Bluford Series is a collection of FIFTEEN young adult novels that focus on the lives of a group of high school students and their families. The series draws its name from the school which many of the characters attend: Bluford High, named after Guion "Guy" Bluford, America's first black astronaut. Set in contemporary urban America, each novel addresses complex topics relevant to the lives of today's students: family, friendship, trust, isolation, violence, and peer pressure, to name a few. In addition, the books feature male and female characters and include elements from many literary genres, such as mystery, suspense, romance, and a touch of the supernatural. In other words, the Bluford Series offers something for almost every reader. Finally, the books are short (less than 200 pages) and written in a highly readable style. Reviewed in a national reading journal and praised by students and teachers nationwide, the Bluford Series appeals to readers ages 11-17 Editorial Reviews One of the most popular new series of adolescent literature is the Bluford Series . . . Students love the books regardless of their background. --Rosemarye T. Taylor, author of Improving Reading, Writing, and Content Learning for Students in Grades 4-12.
The Bluford Series are contemporary texts that engage teachers and students alike. --Dale Moxle, author of Literacy Coaching, a Handbook for School Leaders.
"The second book (used with the class) was The Bully by Paul Langan, and it took the next six periods of eighth-grade classes by storm. I was no more than 2 paragraphs into reading my chosen chapter when I could tell from the absolute silence that the audience was hookedSilence gave way to choral groans and laughter before a tense moment resulted in silence again and finally cheers when the protagonist, a small bullied ninth grader named Darrell, confronted the school bully Tyray, unexpectedly in the school cafeteria and sent him sprawling in a pool of spilled spaghetti. " --James Blasingame from Books That Don't Bore 'Em, Scholastic, New York, NY. |
