Student Recommended Books

Today I was with a 5th grade class. I asked them for book recommendations. They had some great ideas.

One student recommend "Artimes Fowl" because its a great mystery that keeps unfolding. Just as one mystery is solved another one begins. I'm going to have to give this one a try. I've had many students ask for book recommendations who are looking for mysteries. I think this will be good to have in my back pocket. 

One student had just begun the "Spiderwick Chronicles" because so many of her friends recommended it. I have also read this book, it is a charming modern fairy tail.

"Big Nate" was recommended to a student because it is funny and Nate is always doing what he isn't supposed to.

A student recommended "Calvin and Hobbes." She loves all how funny it is. Yay for a classic cartoon! It makes me really happy to see kids reading things that I read when I was a kid.

This book is recommended by a fifth grade boy for having really good action and adventure.
 
This one is currently the class read aloud book. Over two days I had the pleasure of reading chapters three through six to the class. Each day they begged for more. It is a tale of a young girl who's family is going through hard times, how she deals with her struggles (such as living in a car) and how she tries to help her family in an unconventional way. It is now on my book list.
