| Student | Suggested Book | Author | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doneka Edwards | A & D Biographies: Rosa Parks | Jill Wheeler | "The author talks about Rosa Parks' life. She talks about the Civil Rights Movement." |
| Abbi Mendoker | Where the Red Fern Grows | Wilson Rawls | "I liked it a whole lot. I like all animals." |
| Loreal Byrd | Goldie | Ellen Miles | "When the dog finds her new owner, she starts being silly and running around. To me, it's a funny book." |
| Brooke Evans | Horror at the Haunted House | Peg Kehret | "It was kind of scary, and it was a mystery. I would recommend it because it was very interesting." |
| Joe Gosser | The Rover | Mel Odom | "It's based in times of swords, goblins, and pirates. I like the battle scenes." |
| Suggested Book | Author | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| The Westing Game | Ellen Raskin | "This story is just like the game 'Clue' and it will have you guessing until the end!" |
| Seedfolks | Paul Fleischman | "This small book is about a community brought together by an inner city garden. This book tells a story from many different angles and backgrounds." |
| Out of the Dust | Karen Hesse | "Written in poetic format, this story about a little girl on a farm will touch the heart of everyone who reads it!" |
| Zach's Lie | Roland Smith | "Ever heard of witness protection? Because of his father, 'Zach' has to change his identity. Listen to his story. What defines who you really are?" |
| Loser | Jerry Spinelli | "This 'outside' student is unrecognized by everyone, but can also relate to everyone. He is teased at school, but shows growth internally." |
