The Holly Harshman Elementary teachers and staff love reading, book talks, and sharing many of their favorite titles with you. 4th grade Science teacher, Mrs. Sterner, recently decided to give a new genre a try! She had always believed that she would never like a mystery book until her friends kept suggesting great books! After reading one, she read another, and then another, and now she has found a new favorite genre! She wants to encourage those who are struggling to find a good book, to “think about trying something different!” Which new genre would you like to try?
