To help the students who have difficulty reading, I have included a fully unabridged audiobook format from a video on Youtube. I suggest these students follow the chapter in the pdf format as the video reads the story aloud for them.
Note: Unfortunately, the first two sentences of the novel are missing on the audiobook. It starts at the sentence, "I have light-brown, almost-red hair and greenish-gray eyes."
