My students always loved the Joey Pigza series. They could relate to
his character b/c he takes medicine to calm down, and he's always
getting in trouble even though he means well.

I will be teaching students in grades 7 and 8 that are reading below
grade
level. These are also students who do not find reading enjoyable.
I am
looking for recommendations of books with a lot of adventure and
action. Books
that the kids can't put down. I do a lot of the reading aloud with
lots of
discussion so books can be on grade level. Any suggestions?

Dear Pat,
I would suggest "Alabama Moon," one of the "Hatchet" books, "Bud Not
Buddy,"
"Freak the Mighty," "Surviving the Applewhites," the Percy Jackson
series,
"Graveyard Book," and (if it's not too violent for your taste)
"Hunger Games,"
which didn't spend longer than 15 minutes on my shelf at any point
last year.
Annie
