Here are two wonderful books that I expect every rising 5th grade student to read before we begin school in August. Don't worry about memorizing details or analyzing characters, setting, plot, conflict and theme - just enjoy them as beautiful stories and leave your comments on this blog. BTW - if you've already read (and loved) "A Snicker of Magic", check out Natalie Lloyd's new "The Key to Extraordinary" - it's being touted as a Newbery contender for 2017! |
