Some suggestions for reading could be Esperanza’s Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan or Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech- Sharon G. Flake has many great books such as The Skin I’m In and Begging for Change that are high interest and geared towards girls. A beautiful novel that I love is Ida B by Kathrine Hannigan. Also, The Tale of Despereaux is adored by all students! As far as short stories go, there are a few anthologies that come to mind. Crime Files by Jeremy Brown- These might work because they are super short and give a scenario that you have to try to figure out.Afterwards the answer is on the next page! Also, Richard Peck is another great author of short stories! My personal favorite is “Pricillia and the Wimps.” This comes from the book called Past, Perfect, Present Tense by Richard Peck- There are a whole bunch of stories in this book- Another great story in “By The Time you Read This” found in a book called Gone from Home by Angela Johnson. Avi also writes short stories. One of his books is called What Do Fish Have To Do With Anything. Hope this helps.Good luck :)
