[MOSAIC] Book Suggestions

[Lespop4 at aol.com]

Lisa,
 
I ran an intergenerational book club for seventh graders and an adult  
partner.  We read The Schwa Was Here and it was a real hit!!   Author is Neal 
Shusterman.

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
