[LM_NET] Grades changing

[Paula Niemeier <niemp@OSAGE.K12.MO.US>]

I have been a junior high (7 & 8) librarian for 5 years now.  We are
going to be incorporating the 6th grade next year.  My collection is not
ready for this.  (We haven't had any grade below 7 have access to this
library for 20 years!)  The budget for adding this grade level is not
looking too positive at this point.  

With that in mind, I need help choosing additional fiction for this age
group.  If there are any great series you would recommend or author,
please let me know.  (For those of you who do AR...I have many books
that currently dip into the upper 3s for my current students.  By adding
the 6th grade, would you recommend adding titles in the 2s and lower
3s?)

I appreciate all the help this group gives!
