Good books?!

I present to you a whole list of books that folks in my classes recommended today. I haven't read all of these, but I've read many of them, and they're great. We'll start independent reading in all of my classes on Friday, so everyone should prepare by getting a book to read! It doesn't have to be one of these. (We'll go to the library tomorrow if you want to check one out.) If you have any more recommendations, add them to the list by commenting below. Parents, feel free to chime in!
