[LM_NET] HIT: bullying titles

[Diane Lungaro <dianelu@YAHOO.COM>]

Recently I posted a request for fiction titles dealing with bullys/bullying, 
appropriate for 2nd-5th graders.  Here are the suggestions I received:
  Loser by Jerry Spinelli
  Trading Places With Hank Talbott
  Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli
  Colder than Ice by David Patneude
  Blubber by Judy Blume
  Shredderman (series)
  Stop Picking on Me
  The Best (Worst) School Year Ever
  Bully of Barkham Street
  Meanest Doll in the World
  Liberation of Gabriel King
  Hundred Dresses
  Louise Takes Charge
   
  So far I've found some of these titles to be too high or too low for our targeted 
age group, so if anyone has additional suggestions, please feel free to e-mail them 
directly to me.  Our district will be having it's 3rd "One Book, One Community" 
reading program and we'll be using "Misfits" by James Howe for 5th grade and up.  
We've also chosen the picture book for our "read to me" age group, but we're 
struggling to find a good book for 2nd - 5th graders.  The book must appeal to boys 
and girls and be available in paperback.
   
  Thanks for your help,
Diane
