Thanks?Kathleen,
This sounded so interesting I went to Borders and purchased it today.? I plan
on previewing the online activities and reading the book this weekend.? I
appreciate the suggestion.

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

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!
