I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Hird's seventh graders at East Side Middle School--what a hoot! I also brought in a ton of books...here's a list:
Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson
Tangerine by Edward Bloor
The Rag and Bone Shop by Robert Cormier
Catherine, Called Birdy by Karen Cushman
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
Invisible by Pete Hautman
Kissing Doorknobs by Terry Spencer Hesser
My Brother's Keeper by Patricia McCormick
Happy Reading!!
