[LM_NET] TARGET: Fantasy titles for book club

[Laura Brooks <BrooksLa@NORTHVILLE.K12.MI.US>]

Hi,

I am organizing a lunch time fantasy book discussion club for 5th
graders, and I am looking for a fantasy book that has wide appeal for
both girls and boys. Most of my kids have exhausted Cornelia Funke and
Jenny Nimmo. I was thinking Yep's "Dragon of the Lost Sea" but have read
very mixed reader reviews. I'd like to go beyond the editorial reviews
and get some real world feedback. If you've read Yep, what is your
opinion? Any other titles stand out? If there's an interest, I'll post a
HIT. Thanks!

Laura
