This week, thousands of librarians and educators will descend upon Seattle for the 2019 ALA Midwinter Conference. If you're attending, here are some Scholastic highlights you won't want to miss!
This year at our booth (#901), we will be giving away advanced reading copies of Say Something, Cicada, The Moon Within, A Drop of Hope, The Music of What Happens, and Stepsister. We will also be giving out discussion guides, posters, bookmarks, and more!
