HIT: Cold climate stories 6th grade

["Deborah K. Creticos" <dcretico@INTERACCESS.COM>]

Sorry this took so long to compile.
Fiction titles:
Mr. Popper's Penguins - Atwater (OK - I know this is pushing concept,
but the teacher and I included this because it might appeal to those
with a lower reading level and it does involve climate)
Titanic - Boning (This one in our Longfellow School fiction collection -
I haven't read it but the kids like to check it out a lot)
Julie - George
Julie of the Wolves - Geroge
Water Sky - George
Toughboy and Sister - Hill
Far North - Hobbs
Frozen Fire - Houston
Ice Swords - Houston
White Archer - Houston
Wild Trek - Kjelgaard
Miss Pickerell Goes to the Arctic - MacGregor
Snow Treasure - McSwigan
Gentle Ben - Morey
Lost in the Barrens - Mowat
Never Cry Wolf - Mowat
Climb or Die - Myers
The Call of the Wild - Nordlicht
Black Star, Bright Dawn - O'Dell
Brian's Winter - Paulen (Need to have read Hatchet first)
Dogsong - Paulsen
Golden Compass - Pullman
On Board the Titanic - Tanaka
Banner in the Sky - Ullman

Poetry:
Cremation of Sam McGee - Service

Non-fiction:
Buried in Ice - Beattie
Snowbound - Lavender (about the Donner party)
Woodsong - Paulsen

There were also suggestions for newer bios of Matthew Hensen who was on
an expedition with Peary.  I have not been able to find (in my very
brief attempts) the specific names of any books on him.

Thank you to all who responded (in no particular order): Fmce@aol.com,
Blythe Bennett, Jan Demlow, Charlotte Snyder, Dennis Clarke, Virginia
Lake, Laurie Woodfin, Debbie Dodd, and Susan Burstein.  If I have missed
anyone, I sincerely apoligize.
