I'm currently on the hunt to improve my classroom library, so I turned to some of my fellow English teachers on Instagram and asked them what THEY considered to be can't-miss books. And here are their answers! Whether you are STARTING your first classroom library or want to shake yours up, these titles are a wide variety of content and difficulty.
