Duane's New World - Hardcover

by Sandra Annette Marr (Author), Denise Davis (Illustrator)

"Something's happening. Everything looks different. The books on the shelves, the letters, they seem to be talking to me " These were Duane's words when he realized that something was happening in his life. He could read the words on the spines of the books as he entered the library where he was taught reading. He said, "I started to see things differently. Before, when I looked at the books on the shelves, the letters looked like a bunch of scrambled letters. Now, since I've learned to read, the letters make sense." He is a tenth grader, and he has been receiving intense training in reading, writing, and spelling for the past seventeen months.
