HIT: Historical fiction

[Kathy Born <BORN_K@HCCAI.HCCA.OHIO.GOV>]

    Week before last I posted a request for suggestions on titles of
    historical fiction for not-quite-up-to-5th-grade readers who had
    difficulty with Hatchet.  Thanks to the many of you who responded.
    What follows is a condensed list of suggestions.  If I missed yours
    it's because I'm at home and I may have printed some off and left them
    at school.  My apologies.  The most frequently suggested titles are
    listed first.

    Weasel / DeFelice
