What happens when an impoverished girl, who writes her own stories on the backs of grocery bags and dreams of one day owning her own store-bought book, gets to a school with an enormous classroom library? How will her family's "hard-times jar" come into the story?
If you'd like to know, read this poginant tale about honesty, education, and a love of books.

Even though this is specifically a migrant family, any reader whose family has struggled financially could relate to a situation like this. Waiting and waiting for something because it is financially out of reach is something many people can understand. The love of reading is another connecting point. This is a good example for memoir units too.
