Re: Best Book Middle School

Last year I bought a book called DEAR NAPOLEAN, I KNOW YOU'RE DEAD, BUT...
by Elvira Woodruff.  After I read it and booktalked it to my school
(Darnestown E.S.), it was on reserve for the entire year.  I think it
would also be enjoyed by seventh and eighth graders as well.  Also I
loved Gordon Korman's LOSING JOE'S PLACE as well as ALL of his other
young adult books - they are VERY funny.   AND, Koertge's books, such as
ARIZONA KID and his others are also very good, but they usually have some
sexual experience in them.  Hope this helps.
