[LM_NET] Non-fiction for Battle of the Books

[Carol Van Brocklin <carolannvan@MOTIMAIL.COM>]

Good morning all:
             I am in the midst of ordering my books for 
next year's Battle competition and while I saw some lists 
in the archives, I am hoping for something really new.
             I am especially interested in non-fiction 
books for both grades 4-5 and 6-7. I really don't want to 
do any history books since that is what I usually do, 
though I have also thrown in some poetry. If anyone has 
any great books that the kids have truly loved that covers 
science (for example) I would love to hear about them.
             Any other books that were published in the 
last year or so that are truly spectacular? I am open to 
suggestions at this point in time. The only things to keep 
in mind are that we are Christian school and we are made 
up of mostly non-Americans so the history books should 
cover some other part of the world other than the US. Asia 
would be best...

Thanks for any help anyone can give me and enjoy your 
summer break.
