Re: ELEM: Great reads for 5th graders

[Patricia Mathews <mathews@ALEXIA.LIS.UIUC.EDU>]

I have read the following to 5th graders with good "results": Beyond the
Bamboo Grove, Number the Stars, Holes, Stepping on the Cracks, The Last
Battle(C.S. Lewis), Chance Child (Jill Paton Walsh), Frindle.  I would
love to read Tom's Midnight Garden, but so far I haven't had a class that
I thought would appreciate it.
