I don't think another series has been in the same demand as the Amulet books. A student asked me, 'since you know all the authors, can you get us an advanced copy?' I think they were pretty disappointed finding out my connections didn't reach that far. I remember putting a sign up, months in advance of the publication date, letting students know the book release date. I think we had 4 floating around the school, and another copy that we sent to our former students at the 5th grade building. This time my colleague and I bought multiple copies. A new school year had started, with many of our 4th grade junkies being at a new building. But then there was a long wait for book 7. The process started all over again in that grade. After they went through fourth grade, the third grade got wind of this series. She spent long amounts of time and tireless amounts of steps to get the books out to all of the readers. I'm pretty sure our reading assistant that year felt more like a book bookie, than a teacher.

One copy would be returned and before it could be checked in, it was already being grabbed by the next reader.

The kids had their own way of passing them from hand to hand.

Between my copies, my colleague's and the school library's, it was all we could do to make sure the copies constantly circulated. A few years ago we had a revolution go through our school.
