A couple of weeks ago, I asked for your favorite books to read aloud to middle schoolers. Here are the responses that I received. Thanks to all! Cheri Grimmitt Deshler Middle School Tuscumbia, AL I read Unwind by Neal Shusterman to many of my middle school students last year. They absolutely loved it. The story pulled them in and they really related to it. Percy Jackson series Alex Rider series Vladimir Todd series Twilight series Shiver and Linger Coffeehouse Angel and The Teashop Girls Wimpy Kid series Mary Downing Hahn ghost stories books--Closed for the Season is the latest Suzanne Collins Hunger Games, etc. I like "Rules", by Cynthia Lord Our state has a Battle of the Books list which always has many of my favorite books. Here is the link to the site: http://www.ncslma.org/BookCompetitions/BoBstate/bobbooklist2010-2011.htm sPACE Station Seventh Grade, though there are a *couple* of scenes that I have decided I didn't want to read aloud with certain classes that didn't have the maturity to keep from laughing hysterically for too long. Our 6th graders love having their LA teachers read Among the Hidden to them. It's short and extremely suspenseful. We can't keep the rest of the series on the shelf after that. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
