ELEM: Adventure fiction for grade 5

[Suzanne Weinheimer <suzanne@WHATEXIT.COM>]

A fifth grade teacher
assigned a book report today (adventure stories) and the kids have to
have their book by Wednesday. I found out when 3-4 kids came to me at
lunch wanting to check out a book (I let them, but gave up part of my
lunch to do it (we are closed at lunchtime)) -- the teacher hasn't yet
told me about the assignment. There is very little "open time" for kids
to come select books; they choose during their class library time (and of
course this class isnt scheduled until Friday).

I  checked my card catalog and came up with
nothing. I also checked the archives; found several Targets but could not
find the corresponding HITS (I've email the target authors, but have not
yet heard back, although 2 of the emails bounced back). I also checked
Dale Copps' www.alltogethernow.org site

Any suggestions of titles or authors I should purchase for next year?
(since this is our first year with grade 5, the teacher is likely to
assign this again next year. ).

 Thanks!
