#bookssetinschool

I will be honest, the fact that it's called Sorcerer's Stone and not Philosopher's Stone on here annoys me quite a bit, but ah well. These are the ultimate #bookssetinschool for #booktober and I'm sure anyone who has read them (which should be everyone) has experienced extreme envy for the lucky people who got to go to Hogwarts. My best birthday present yet has been my mum taking me to the Warner Bros Studios to see everything first hand.

elkeOriginal You mean 'here' on Litsy? There are listings for Philosopher's Stone too 📚 8y
wildfireheart @elkeo there are? I must have missed that, silly me 8y

This is one of my favorite #BooksSetInSchool! Matilda shows kids that being smart is cool and that you never have to accept a bad situation as "just the way it is."

Suzze Love the paper clip filled light bulb. And the TI calculator (my son works for Texas Instruments). 8y
arlenefinnigan I'm old enough to remember eagerly awaiting its publication. Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven. 8y

#bookssetinschool #octophotochallenge #booktober *singing* "Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts, teach us something please!" ??????? I had to do it. There is no way I could let today's challenge pass without posting about #Hogwarts #proudalumni #proudgryffindor #gryffindorforlife

BookInMyHands @TheNextBook At one of our library midnight HP parties we sang this, each with our own tune of course. It's one of my favorite memories. 8y
TheNextBook @BookInMyHands that sounds incredible. I would have loved that! 8y

Written before 1950, these might not hold up now in their original form. There were revised version published a few years ago. To my 8 years old self in the 1970s in Canada, these read like exotic tales. #booktober #bookssetinschool #setinaschool

#bookssetinschool #booktober This classic book set in a school deals with one student trying to decide whether to take on the bullies or go with the flow. As he ponders this question featured on a poster in his bedroom, he decides to take them on. It is a rough road ahead. #setinaschool

#bookssetinschool This book was absolutely amazing. Great storytelling and a story that forces people to look past their discomfort. Bullying happens and it's happening all around us, for reasons much more petty than the instance in this book. Definitely a book I recommend for middle grade and high school students who sometimes need to be reminded to passionate and empathetic. #octophotochallenge #booktober We need to read more and fight less

Kleonard Beautiful story! 8y
Graciouswarriorprincess I recommend that everyone needs to read this! 8y
TheNextBook @Kleonard yes it really is! @Graciouswarriorprincess Yes! Agreed. 8y

LauraBrook My friends daughter gave this to me for Christmas two years ago - still need to read it! 😱 8y
TheNextBook @LauraBrook yes! This a quick read but very emotional. 8y
Betty It'll be a movie next year. Also there's a sequel book 8y
TheNextBook @Betty Thank you! I had no idea this was going to be a movie. I'm not sure if it will be as powerful but here's to hoping. I'll have to look into the other Wonder books as well. 8y

LeahBergen I really enjoyed this book ... but then I've always been slightly obsessed with boarding school stories. 😀 8y
Dragon Thanks @LeahBergen when I thought about it I realized I've read a lot of books set in boarding school. Especially English boarding schools 📚 8y
