Welcome to Litsy!

Spending my weekend with Wes.

I thought this book would be a bit too cliche or cheesy for my taste, but I am glad to be wrong. In this nonfiction YA adaptation of the "The Other Wes Moore" we get a realistic & inspirational page-turner. Wes turns his life around after growing up in tough circumstances. All of my 8th grade students (boys) who read it LOVED it, and these are not kids who typically devour books. Win! #teachersoflitsy #wesmoore #memoir

Incredibly enlightening. We are destined by the choices we make and by those around us. A great read for young boys. Especially inner-city youth.
