Target: 5th grade novels

[usjlibrary <library@USJ.TN.ORG>]

Our 5th grade English teacher would like to add another novel to her class.
For summer reading they used Number the Stars and Frindle.  During the year
they read Johnny Tremain and Lincoln:  A Photobiography.  An historical
novel would be great (to go along with the history study of colonial
times), but she would really like something 'amusing', not too 'heavy', and
enjoyable for the children.  Any suggestions?

Thank you.
