I am looking to hook the students at the beginning of the year with an awesome
read aloud. In the past, I have used Freak the Mighty and have had excellent
results. I was looking for something else...maybe more in the style of The
Hunger Games. Any suggestions? What have you used that
I just finsihed Peak by Roland Smith. It would be a great read a loud, and
leaves you hanging on your seat. It is new out this year, so not many of
your students would have read it yet. It is a ficitional story about a
teenage
boy who climbs Mount Everest.
