A book that has been successful with my 8th graders as a read aloud is
Schooled by Gordon Korman. It is a cute book about a boy who lives on a
commune with his grandmother. She breaks her hip, and he is forced to
attend public school, where he is immediately pegged as an outcast due to
his 60s look and actions. Funny book!

Subject: [LIT] Read-aloud Recommendation
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a read-aloud recommendation for a 6-8 grade small class.
Something not overly silly that would send 7th grade boys into wackyville,
but entertaining enough that I could readaloud as a sponge activity or any
short stories you'd recommend. Not Stargirl or Harry Potter. Thanks!
