TARGET: Suggestions for G/T Third Grader

[Cecilia Hoff <hoffs@MINDSPRING.COM>]

Greetings, all!

I have a parent ISO recommendations for her daughter's summer reading.  Her
child is finishing up the third grade, is identified gifted, and reads on a
twelfth grade level.  The parent stressed interest in content-appropriate
books, given her daughter's age, and quality writing. The challenge seemed
to be right up this group's alley!

So far, she has enjoyed: Tuck Everlasting, Catherine Called Birdy, and
Bridge to Terabithia.  While these aren't RL 12, she likes them, and the
content was along the lines of what the parent wants.

I'll gladly post a hit.

Thanks in advance!
