Re: fRACTURED FAIRY TALES

I guess you are talking about things like The True Story of the Three
Little Pigs, Stinky Cheeseman, etc?  I don't know how 6th graders would
handle Avi's Nothing But the Truth, but it is great for point of view.
Also for drawing inferences, talking about character, what is truth,
etc.  Avi never tells you the "answer" to who is right or wrong in this
book, who is lying or telling the truth, etc. - but you sure draw your
own opinion based on the story.  It is a great story.
