[MOSAIC] Book selection
Help!!! I need help finding books to put into the hands of one of my students. He's a high school senior who reads at about a lexile level of 900, but does not mind challenging himself a bit. He enjoys Stephen E Ambrose books - especially his WWII books. He just read The Hunger Games - the first novel I've ever known him to read - and wants more. However, he's not so tempted to read the other 2 books in the series because of the whole love story element of the plot. Any ideas?!

Re: [MOSAIC] Book selection
Tell him to read them! Catching Fire is a little slow but still really good Mockingjay, brings everything home! I love, love, love The Book Thief WWII... How about Ray Bradbury? The Illustrated Man and 451 are amazing! Good luck ! Kim On Feb 3, 2012 7:38 PM, wrote: > Help!!! I need help finding books to put into the hands of one of my > students.

I recommend Michael Morpurgo. British author. Wrote War Horse but has many, many other great books. ___ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive
Re: [MOSAIC] Book selection
City of Thieves was highly recommended to one of my reluctant readers. So far-so good! Sent from my iPad On Feb 3, 2012, at 9:15 PM, Kimberly Griesel wrote: > Tell him to read them!

Also a senior... He loved Fallen Angels & Sunrise Over Fallujah-both by Walter Dean Myers, too. Sent from my iPad On Feb 3, 2012, at 9:15 PM, Kimberly Griesel wrote: > Tell him to read them!

Re: [MOSAIC] Book selection
Agree with Unwind, yet there is romance. Shipbreaker is a great dystopian novel as well, with less romantic focus. I loved DIVERGENT - romance heavy, but IS action packed!
