I would second The Hunger Games. I am not teaching a designated "reading"
class this year, but I am teaching regular 8th grade English where we will
be doing a unit on this book.

Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Need Book Recommendations Grades 7 & 8
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.

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?
