[MOSAIC] Book Suggestions

[Lisa Glos]

Hi,
I was just chosen to be the Literacy Coach/Reading Instructional Support Teacher/Gifted and Talented Teacher at my charter school (K-7 this year, going K-8 next year).  One of my new responsibilities will be to teach an elective to middle school students and my Assistant Principal suggested a book club. The problem is that even though there is a push for G/T at my school, I haven't had a chance to see if the children are truly gifted or if they are highly able and not being challenged, which can make choosing a book tricky.  
I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good 6th-7th grade novel for a first choice in the book club since I will need to order before school starts without knowing who my students will be.  The expected size will be 9-15 students at the most.

Thanks
Lisa
