I'm taking a short break from curriculum writing to convey this update: the book I'm currently reading for a residency with middle schoolers referred to prion diseases on page 32. And, like, that's what the book is about.
Sort of. Mostly it's about a quiet, misunderstood boy who doesn't get along with his stepfather and then gets a dog. Also, over 20 dogs have already died in the book (as of page 49).
I think I have more to say about that, but for right now it just seemed worthy to make a note of it.
