Here is a list of all of the responses I received for your favorite book you read
and would recommend to others.
For Elementary - Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner (Not new for 2007, though)
The Fablehaven series - I get review copies of books at home, which my kids (ages
21 & 23) read from time to time, and they both read this series and are now
impatiently waiting for the next book to come out!
I am enjoying "Deep and Dark and Dangerous : a Ghost Story by Mary Downing Hahn
Titles I read this summer that are must haves....
Stephenie Meyer's Series- Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse- High School, 7th and 8th
depending on your community
Melissa DeLacruz series- Blue Bloods and Masquerade
I also noticed that the Westerfield Series, Uglies, Pretties and Specials has a 4th
book out- Cant remember the name, New character but fans of the series might like
the new one??
I also read the House of Night series by Cast.
I have a few that really stand out. Firegirl by Tony Abbott, Clemintine by Sara
Pennypacker, Wings by William Loizeaux and Knuffle Bunny Too by Mo Willems.
Edward Tulane by de Camillo
The Lightning Thief by Riordan (MS/HS)
Any Jodi Picoult (HS) She's hot with our readers right now
The Twilight Series by Myers (Vampires) HS
My students are fighting over the Twilight series. I have 2 copies but most of the
students have purchased them because they can't wait!
Our librarian's book club in Tulsa just finished Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, we
really enjoyed that one and are anxious to read the sequels, definitely YA
Princess Academy is very MSish but very enjoyable
Miraculous journey of Edward Tulane is wonderful for elementary
My fifth grade teachers just had to tell me that her students demanded she finish
George Crum and the Saratoga chip / by Gaylia Taylor ,illustrated by Frank
Morrison. today!!! They are loving this Texas Bluebonnet book.
Brenda , hope it's not too late and that this works because I see the copyright it
2005 The Perfect Shot by Alphin is a great book. It is a mystery and it has
connections to social studies and justice
One that I loved was- Life on the Refrigerator Door by Alice Kuipers.
Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer is the 3rd book in the Twilight series and that was
really good as well.
I know that someone has probably already recommended this,
but I have to recommend A Thousand Splendid Suns by Hoseini (Kite Runner author) as
it is probably the best book I have read this year. My students are reading it and
loving it,
too.
Incredible Book Eating Boy by Oliver Jeffers
Love it!!
One that I loved was- Life on the Refrigerator Door by Alice Kuipers. Eclipse by
Stephenie Meyer is the 3rd book in the Twilight series and that was really good as
well.
I'll be getting multiple titles of Crank by Ellen Hopkins as soon as I do another
book order.
This is a great book. It has become my new next-to-favorite book of all time (my
new favorite book is "Uno's Garden" by Graeme Base but it was published in 2006 so
doesn't count here). It is a laid back look at ecology, presented in a way that
can fire the imagination of kids into saying "hey I can do that!" instead of
asking them to "stop tropical de-forestation" for instance. I am reading it to
almost all my kids,
form preschool to 4th grade. The book is called On Meadow Street by Henry Cole
Only one!!! Well, okay No Talking by Andrew Clements 4-6th grades...
I would chose Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I think it is a must have for
teachers as well as students. We always love the "quiet ones" in class.
Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer...it's the third in the Twilight series, has elements of
vampire horror kids love, plus a great love triangle. It's been checked out 5 times
in the month that school has been open.
I would recommend "The Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan (and the other books in the
series) for upper elementary and middle school libraries. I cannot keep this book
on the shelf -- it's an all time favorite right now.
Bad Girls Club- Gregerson
Right Behind you - Giles
#1 Angel Experiment - Maximum Ride - Patterson
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie. By the way, it
was just announced as a National Book Award Finalist.
For grade 8, good readers, and up: The Book Thief, by Zusak. I just finished it
last week. Great book, for mature readers.
