5th grade recommendations

I just finished two books, The Trouble Begins by Linda Himelblau and Middle School is Worse than Meatloaf by Jennifer Holm. The first one is about Du, a Vietnamese boy who comes to California to join his family. Since English is not his first language, he has a hard time adjusting to American life and his family is not the most helpful. It's a great read about what it's like coming to a new country and the hardships faced. The other book is a quick read about Ginny Davis' 7th grade year. The author tells her story through stuff; for example, one page is her report card, another is instant messages with a friend. Check them out!

What book would you like to recommend to 5th graders? When you respond, be sure to include the author. You can look at amazon.com if you forgot or need help with spelling.

I just finished a book called "Blood in the River" it was writen by Elisa Carbone. I recommend this book because it tells about the 1608 Jamestown. It tells the whole story how they went over to Virgina and how they suvived the winter. I don't think that it's at our library but it's at the erie community library. So check it out!
