Target> Middle: 7th/8th grade read aloud books

[David Bilmes <Dudu4tigers@AOL.COM>]

    A teacher in my school who teaches a combined Grade 7/8 class is looking
for suggestions for a good read-aloud book for her class. In searching the
archives, I came up with suggestions for classroom books for that age group,
but not specifically for read-aloud books. Any suggestions would be welcome.
One book I'm thinking of suggesting to her is "Bud, not Buddy." Is that book
too young for this age group (this is a magnet school, and the kids are all
talented and gifted)?
