Re: [LM_NET] Title ideas needed for Middle School one-book event

[msirwin <msirwin@OPTONLINE.NET>]

I love the idea of an all middle school read! One title you might consider
is Petey by Ben Mikaelson. Our 8's all read it during the week in the spring
when they all work on community service projects.  It's a very easy read for
them, but because it's a week they have no homework, we have them do a
number of reflections on the ideas in the book, especially as it relates to
the idea of helping others in the community. I'm sure it would be manageable
for 6's, and there's quite a lot to work with.
