I know, I know, we're not looking for ways to get them to fight, but I have to admit I was secretly happy when my boys almost came to blows over a book. The series many of them are enjoying right now - and fighting over - is the
Spy High series. I also have lots who are reading
the Artemis Fowl books. I see from the site I just linked that there's a graphic novel coming out. I don't have that in my classroom - just the old-fashioned ones with words in them. The kids love them.
Have you read "The House of the Scorpion"? I'm guessing some boys would like that too.
ReplyDeleteI just finished The Messenger by Lois Lowry. I did like it better than the 2nd book. What did you think about it?
No, I haven't read "The House of the Scorpion," but I do have it in my classroom library, and the kids who have read it have enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI liked "Gathering Blue" better than "Messenger." But "The Giver" is one of my favorite books of all time, so it's hard to compare with that.
