Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman. about 1/2 my class went out and bought the book independently to read ahead of me- we are doing it as a grade level wide read aloud in 8th grade during advisory... kids are talking about it in the halls at lunch etc...every 20-30 pages you go to the internet and show an interactive clip related to the book... kind of like a youtube video.... they are hooked like fish!!! LOL

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.
