Some shorter novels I would suggest are: The Forgotten Door, On My Honor, Harris and Me, Granny Torrelli Makes Soup, The Birthday Room, Indigo, Green Angel, Step by Wicked Step (each chapter is a different story about a step parent), The Higher Power of Lucky, Gossamer, Edward's Eyes.
Kay Kuenzl-Stenerson Literacy Coach Merrill Middle School "We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those, who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes." ~ Fred Rogers -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 6/20/2008 11:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Mosaic Digest, Vol 22, Issue 20 Send Mosaic mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/listinfo/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Mosaic digest..."

And it looks to be about a third grade level!! Thanks to all for suggestions, by the way. While books on CD is certainly an option (and one we are suggesting), the fact of the matter is that IF a student can read a book that will support the class discussion the go old fashioned way, we feel that will offer more inclusion into the process of shared study.
