The teacher is asking for a set of classic novels, including "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain, one of my favorites. I can easily recall the thrill of reading Huck Finn for the first time. The cost is $518. It's a compelling case, and it's from a Bronx middle school; early in my career as a journalist, I spent a fair amount of time in Bronx public schools, including several in areas where most residents lived at or below the poverty line. Many of the kids are immigrants or the children of immigrants, and providing great American literature resonates strongly. So this donor chooses.
