[LM_NET] Middle School Books

["Reid, Cathy" <CReid@LEVITTOWN.K12.NY.US>]

Hi everyone,

I am a first year Middle School Librarian and my question is very basic.  I feel 
overwhelmed sometimes with all this great fiction out there.  

Any suggestions for YA fiction that would be good to book talk to these kids... 
Maybe some new books??  I've read Tangerine and Whirligig lately, both relatively 
new and loved them both.  I'm looking for suggestions that you've enjoyed a lot and 
the kids seem to take to also; books not necessarily included in your standard 
curriculum reading lists. More like great "discoveries".

Thanks!
