The following are books that I have read and recommend for middle school students. A growing list of books is on the right, titled "Book List," and each new post will feature a specific book or series of books that I will elaborate on. Visitors can post their thoughts on books I recommend as well, and they can also contribute to the recommended book list page. Enjoy!

The Maze Runner, by James Dashner
The Maze Runner, by James Dashner, was an awesome book. It's just the first of three, but all kids that read the book for literature circles in class truly enjoyed the read.
Harris & Me, by Gary Paulsen
Harris & Me, by Gary Paulsen, is a literature circle book that students read in class. Personally, I loved this book! I read it aloud with one of my classes, and kids were hooked with the humorous adventures of the boys in this story. Definitely this is a must read for all, but will perhaps be more appealing to boys.
Eight Keys, by Suzanne LaFleur
Eight Keys, by Suzanne LaFleur, is a literature circle book that students read in class. It seems like a nice story.
The Fourth Stall, by Chris Rylander
The Fourth Stall, by Chris Rylander, is a literature circle book that students read in my class. It seems like a great book!
Dangerous Waters, by Gregory Mone
Dangerous Waters, by Gregory Mone, is a literature circle book that students read in class. This author has visited Woodbury several times over the years, and I expect that he will continue coming for the unforseen future. With that said, read one of his books! Fish is another great book that this author wrote.
The Big Field, by Mike Lupica
The Big Field, by Mike Lupica, is a book that students read during literature circles. I have read a handful of book by this author, and he definitely is one of my favorites for this age group. If you like baseball, the Yankees, and/or playing shortstop, this might be the perfect book for you!
Al Capone Does My Shirts, by Gennifer Choldenko
This is a literature circle book that students read in class. It seems pretty cool, with the idea of one of the country's biggest gangsters of all time doing this kid's laundry. This book is on my list of books to read.
