Happy Saturday team! 3 days left in Bookopoly. You have all been great readers. But because I have been deposited books into our savings account I need a book now.We landed on Beacon Street, and we need a 330-page book set in Boston. If you look at our book log, the books that are still white are available to be used. If any of them fit, please let me know. If not, we'll need a book.
