Here are a few titles that I think are great reads.
Amory, Jay. The
Fledging of Az Gabrielson and Pirates
of the Relentless Desert (sequel). also boys
Bauer, Joan. Peeled.
Berry, Julie. The Amaranth Enchantment.
Oppel, Kenneth. Airborn; Skybreaker; and Starclimber
(sequels). also boys
Pearson, Mary. The
Adoration of Jenna Fox. girl protagonist, but I think would have boy appeal
Perkins, Mitali. Secret Keeper.
"Books
have three of the deadliest foes
on this Earth:
fire, water, and ignorant men...
...books are the finest treasures of all.
You need only feast once with your eyes
and your heart.
And you'll be full with their wisdom
forever." (Melanie Little, The Apprentice's Masterpiece)
"Librarians...have been my lifelong friends, guides and
heroes." Joseph Bruchac
