Booktalks for East Side Middle School

Big thanks to Ms. Hird for inviting me to talk to her seventh graders. I learned all kinds of stuff from you guys! Here's a list of the titles that I talked about:

Click Here (to Find Out How I Survived the Seventh Grade) by Denise Vega

The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier

Swallowing Stones by Joyce Macdonald

Code Orange by Caroline Cooney

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne

Thanks again--and to Garrett: there are worse things than ripping your pants, but I'm hard-pressed to find them. You win the prize!
