[LIT] book suggestions

[bmaddox at comcast.net]

Great suggestions--and someone observed that it's important to know your kids before recommending a book.  Librarians call that doing "Reader Advisory"--and when we connect a kid to just the right book, isn't it gratifying?  No one has mentioned the Jack Gants' books about Joey Pigza.   Are kids not reading those anymore?   I only had one kid opt to read one this year.

Parrot in the Oven by Martinez was a good match for several of my kids--I might consider requesting a class set next year.
