This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------404C1526E735E5806A3A4E9F Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thank you to all who contributed to this HIT. I'm on my way to developing a dynamite list and will post it when it is completed. In the meantime, here are your suggestions: Junie Jones books, Bailey School Kids books, and Amber Brown books, just to name a few favorites! MICK HARTE WAS HERE, by Park, Any of the SIDEWAYS stories by Louis Sachar, Captain Underpants (there are 3 in the series) by Dave Pilkey. Chocolate Touch (author escapes me), anything by Roald Dahl, esp. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Ramonoa books by Beverly Cleary and of course Harry Potter, though AR says it's 5.0+ book. Linda, I just finished reading the 2001 Nutmeg Award Nominees and think they would be appropriate for your group. http://www.geocities.com/nutmeg_award/nominees2001.htm The Ghost of Fossil Glen by Cynthia DeFelice Deep Doo Doo by Michael Delaney My Louisiana Sky by Kimberly Willis Holt A Shooting Star: A Novel About Annie Oakley by Sheila Solomon Klass No More Nice by Amy MacDonald Riding Freedom by Pam Munoz Ryan Gib Rides Home by Zilpha Keatley Snyder Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief by Wendelin Van Draanen 101 Ways to Bug Your Parents by Lee Wardlaw Belle Prater's Boy by Ruth White The Mr. Tucket, Call Me Mr. Tucket, and Tucket Rides by Gary Paulsen are three "no fail" books that would fit the bill. Also Windcatcher by Avi is great, too. Frindle by Andrew Clements How about A Taste of Blackberries by Doris Smith?(death of a friend) The Flunking of Joshua Bates, and its sequel?(Being a poor reader) Mississippi Bridge by Mildred Taylor? Or her The Well? (African-Americans and racism) Cleary's Dear Mr. Henshaw (Newbery winner) (letters to an author)? And its sequel (?), Strider? (same character, as a teenager, plus dog) The Time Warp Trio by Jon Scieszka? Linda--I realize you are looking for specific titles, however our Public Library System cooperates with our local school district Prince William County Public Schools ( VA) to support their school summer reading assignments. Our ten libraries help provide over 50,000 students with public library books during the summer. The choices of the teachers can be found on the School District's website at http://www.pwcs.edu click on Instructional programs and then on Summer Reading programs. You may want to look through the elementary schools looking for their 4th grade choices. Remember to involve your public libraries with your plans, because they will be open this summer, while your schools may be closed. As a public librarian I have encouraged the school district to use subjects, or themes, or genre rather than specific tittles which gather long waiting lists during the summer whenever more than 3,000 students are looking for the same titles. I also encourage teachers to make sure the book is IN PRINT before suggesting a titles for their list.
