[LM_NET] MIDDLE: Book Clubs

[Frances King <Maxine049@AOL.COM>]

I am committed to running a book club for my 7th and 8th graders.  A  few of
the books I wanted to do are being used by the 7th & 8th grade  teachers.  An
example is Among the Hidden.

I've come to this school from a K-2 school, so I am not as familiar with  the
books as I would like to be.  I'd appreciate suggestions for novels  which
would make for good discussion for both a 7th grade and 8th grade  club.  This
is an urban school and we are really trying to get our students  to read more.
I need to get a list together ASAP while there is still  money to buy the
books for the students.

I'd also appreciate your suggestions for a catchy name for the club.

Thank you.
