They have also really enjoyed reading Minecraft manga. Just today, a student excitedly shared with her classmates that we have new Minecraft books!\r\n\r\nAlong with new manga books, I was also able to add more Spanish language books as well as bilingual English/Spanish books to our collection. It makes me happy to see the new Spanish language books get checked out on the same day they were added to the shelf.
