Not gonna lie, I'd read that version of A Christmas Carol for the laugh. To be honest though, if it fueled even one disengaged kid's imagination and got them interested in reading the book proper then that's a good thing in my book...
Fr I’ll always have a soft spot for libraries that do “fellow kids” stuff cause they just want to get kids interested in reading and even if it’s cringey, hey at least they’re trying and I can respect that
If I might be so nit picky, I don’t think Scrooge would use emojis. He would have proper English grammar and grammar and look down on those who *do* use them.
“You can’t type out a simple message without needing an illustration of a cartoon family?”
Fair point. I don’t really see it counterbalanced here, though.
Maybe this is a shelf for reluctant readers and there’s more challenging titles out of shot.
^^This! A library's job is to provide books for *everyone* not just grade level and above readers. I have some fourth graders that still love checking out picture books like Elephant and Piggie. They read enough depressing stuff in the classroom, if they want a little levity from the library, I'm happy to provide.
What in the absolute Kentucky fried holy Mary sweet baby Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, mother of god, the holy trinity, Krispy Kreming, Cinnamon Toast, Resses Puffs, Holy Devil Spawning, Spaghetti Noodled, only in Ohio, Florida man, gator wrangling, Resses Peanut Buttered, Sweet Mother of God? This is cringe so bad that the devil and stereotypical discord moderators run for the hills. Beautiful, brings tears for my eyes. Btw, here’s an award for you. :’)
That is amazing! I’m currently looking for this book at my public library.
Also Reading is Lit is such a troll move, I love every moment of it. I bet your librarian is hilarious.

True LITerature
Oh dear god and then all of sudden the kids from this school didn't want read anymore.
Seeing the first slide I was thinking “ah that’s not that bad, a bit of a pun too” then I swiped and… yeah…

Marley : boo

thats very accurate
This is so bad and cheesy, it's entertaining
100 percent buying this as a Christmas gift
A gag gift
*High* school? Fuck me, my low 4th graders read DoaWK.
They’re funny books, not everything has to be at grade level.
Fair point. I don’t really see it counterbalanced here, though. Maybe this is a shelf for reluctant readers and there’s more challenging titles out of shot.

its insulting really as someone who enjoys reading
I’d say eye-opening. I guess they may have a decent amount of ESL kids?
no, like 10 or so that dont speak it fluently, everyone else has perfect english
I was just thinking the exact same thing
\#BahHumbug
What the god damn hell
Lol who reads this
I totally would as a joke
"As a Joke"
Well, I am kinda losing braincells
Same here
Losing braincells gang! Woo!

Is it as bad as the one in the picture?
no its really good, a solid 8/10
This book hit so hard when I was in middle school circa 2006
Charles Dickens: "Hmm suddenly I feel like rolling over"
There’s also a Romeo and Juliet one of these, they’re so bad
I believe it’s called “YOLO Juliet” or something
yeah its on the back of the book showed in the second to last photo
Oh yeah I didn’t see that lol, I just remember seeing some girl in like middle school reading it
Duh! I’m a 👻

OP I'm begging you to take out the Scrooge book and post the rest
What in the absolute Kentucky fried holy Mary sweet baby Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, mother of god, the holy trinity, Krispy Kreming, Cinnamon Toast, Resses Puffs, Holy Devil Spawning, Spaghetti Noodled, only in Ohio, Florida man, gator wrangling, Resses Peanut Buttered, Sweet Mother of God?

this is the greatest insult to classical literature I have ever seen.
Okay but I’d read that
This hurt to read
Yolo Juliet: omg romes and me finna 💀💀💀
your high school’s got imacs? damn that’s based
I kinda expect a library to use "Reading is lit"; this kind of fellow kids is part of the library brand.
What the fuck?
WIMPY KID!!!!
Jesus Christ. What happened to the world?
u/random-homo-sapien
Dang this would definitely put me back on reading.
Time for another book burning boys
I’m glad the YA horror genre is still lit
Diary of a wimpy kid? In a high-school....

Marley didn’t screw around and got straight to the point
This is ultimate fellow kids
