I am planning to use The Hunger Games to start off my year. I think
my students will love it! It takes place in the future and deals with
teenagers chosen by lottery to fight each other to the death. If I
had read that description I wouldn't have been interested at all but
it has everything in it-a sense of life being unfair, the resolve to
make the best of a situation beyond your control, 2 conflicting love
stories, family strife and loyalty. Truly a great book for teens.

I will be teaching students in grades 7 and 8 that are reading below
grade
level. These are also students who do not find reading enjoyable.
I am
looking for recommendations of books with a lot of adventure and
action. Books
that the kids can't put down. I do a lot of the reading aloud with
lots of
discussion so books can be on grade level. Any suggestions?
