[LM_NET] Elementary HF Title Needed

[Andrea Koch <kochandrea@MSN.COM>]

A teacher has requested suggestions for a 5th grade historical fiction book for 
literature circles that covers one of the following themes:
Transcontinental Railroad; Westward Expansion; Immigration; Industrial Revolution.  
It will be integrated with her last unit in social studies focusing on the period 
of time after Civil War and early 1900's. 
Do you have any ideas of books that have recently been successful with this age 
group?

Many thanks!
