Target: Elem: "Must have" chapter fiction for grades 3, 4 & 5

[Tina Jensen <cmsolbe2@TIES.K12.MN.US>]

Hello all,

I am working with intermediate elementary students for the first time in
years and my knowledge of popular chapter fiction is rather stagnant. IMHO
the fiction collection in my new building is small, out-dated, and too
dependent on multiple copies of award winners. My book budget is small, so I
want to make the best choices  for my dollar. Would those of you "in the
know" please share with me those titles and series that you consider "must
haves" for a school library serving grades 3, 4, and 5?

Thank you, and I will post a hit if I receive requests.
