My seventh-graders had 7 choices for literature
circles. All were hits. The choices were: The Land (
a profound story) by Mildred Taylor (for fans of Roll of
Thunder, Hear My Cry), Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli
(riveting), Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelson (
powerful), Crispin by Avi (suspenseful), Olive's
Ocean by Kevin Henkes (touching), Good Night, Mr.
Tom by Michelle Margorian (unforgettable), and
Becoming Naomi Leon by Pam Munoz Ryan (she
wrote Esperanza Rising, another good choice). All
listed are GREAT summer reading for teachers of
middle school students. I highly recommend these
books.
