<span style="color: blue;">Emotional Historical Fiction: <i>Fever 1793 </i>by Laurie Halse Anderson </span>(251 pg. RL 5.0) It's late summer 1793, and the streets of Philadelphia are abuzz with mosquitoes and rumors of fever. Down near the docks, many have taken ill, and the fatalities are mounting. Now they include Polly, the serving girl at the Cook Coffeehouse. But fourteen-year-old Mattie Cook doesn't get a moment to mourn the passing of her childhood playmate. New customers have overrun her family's coffee shop, located far from the mosquito-infested river, and Mattie's concerns of fever are all but overshadowed by dreams of growing her family's small business into a thriving enterprise. But when the fever begins to strike closer to home, Mattie's struggle to build a new life must give way to a new fight—the fight to stay alive.</h4>

The squirrel never saw the vacuum cleaner coming, but self-described cynic Flora Belle Buckman, who has read every issue of the comic book Terrible Things Can Happen to You!, is the just the right person to step in and save him. What neither can predict is that Ulysses (the squirrel) has been born anew, with powers of strength, flight, and misspelled poetry—and that Flora will be changed too, as she discovers the possibility of hope and the promise of a capacious heart.<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></h4>

fifth grade school year. Rookie teacher Mr Terupt makes their classroom at Snow
Hill School a fun-filled place… until one winter day when an accident

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: blue;">Uplifting Realistic Fiction: <i>Fish in a
Tree</i> by Lynda Mullaly Hunt</span></b> (276 pages, RL 4.2). Ally
has been smart enough to fool a lot of smart people. Every time she finds
herself in a new school, she conceals her inability to read by inventing
clever and disruptive distractions. She is afraid to ask for help, but her
new teacher, Mr. Daniels, sees a bright, creative person behind Ally’s
troublemaking façade. With his assistance, Ally learns that dyslexia is nothing
to be ashamed of. As her confidence grows, Ally learns that there’s a lot more
to her—and to everyone—than a label. Basic Skills instructor Mrs. Ferrone recommends <i>Fish in a Tree</i> for back-to-school reading.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: blue;">Survival and a New Way of Seeing: <i>The
Cay</i> by Theodore Taylor </span></b>(137 pages, RL 5.0). Twelve-year-old P<span class="apple-converted-space">hilip Enright is excited when the Germans invade
his small island home of Curacao. World War II has always seemed a
distant game to him, and he is eager to witness it firsthand—until a torpedo
strikes the United States-bound freighter he and his safety-concerned mother
have boarded. When Philip regains consciousness, he is floating on a raft
in the middle of the sea, his only companions a cat and a compassionate,
elderly West Indian named Timothy. Philip remembers his mother’s warning about
black people: <i>They are different and they live differently.</i> By
the time the castaways wash ashore on a small sandy island, however, Philip’s
head injury has made him blind and dependent on Timothy for survival. Over
time, Philip learns a new way of seeing and important lessons about courage,
friendship, and overcoming prejudice. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Fourth Grade Language Arts teacher Mrs. Nigro enthuses, "Are you a fan of historical fiction? Do you enjoy adventure and survival books? If you loved <i>Hatchet</i>, this is the book for you! It is a story of true friendship and the struggle to survive in seemingly impossible conditions... a real page-turner!"</span><br />

Jennifer Nielsen (353 pages, RL 5.3). As a lethal plague
known as the Scourge sweeps the land, Ani Mells of the River People is captured

she sets out to uncover the truth and to reveal a devious plot. Fifth Grade Language Arts teacher Miss Sgroi shares, "This novel is suspenseful, with twists and turns that keep you reading. I finished it in a few hours!"</span><br />

Piggle Wiggle’s Magic</i> </span></b>by Betty MacDonald (126 pages, RL 5.3). W<span style="background: white;">ith her
trademark ingenuity, humor, understanding of human behavior, and a touch of
magic, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle teaches children life lessons and
dispenses cures for conditions like sloppiness, laziness, showing off, interrupting, slow-eating-tiny-bite-taking, and all sorts of wayward conduct. Fifth Grade Language Arts teacher Mrs. Collett enthuses, "This book keeps us giggling! Kids love Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, and their parents do, too. What kind of strange remedy will she have for those naughty children this time?"</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #783f04;">A Sand-Castle Charmer: <i>The Tale of
Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of
Thread</i></span></b> by Kate DiCamillo (267 pages, RL 4.7). Book Beachers love this 2004
Newbery Medal-winning fairy tale about Despereaux Tilling, a tiny mouse with
big ears and an even bigger heart. Despereaux’s unusual talents and
un-mouselike behavior bring disappointment to his family and earn him a trip to
the castle dungeon. As we follow the tail-- and the tale-- of this extraordinary mouse,
we meet a kidnapped princess named Pea, Miggery Sow, a servant girl wishing to
be royalty, and Roscuro, a sneaky rat who is conniving to ruin them all. Book Beach alumni Peter H. recommends this book to readers who enjoy adventure and fantasy. He says, "I liked this book because it's magical and mysterious with four different stories mixed together."</span><br />

Strange Case of Origami Yoda</span></i> by Tom Angleberger (141 pages, RL 4.1). Sixth-grader Tommy and
his friends describe their interactions with “loser” Dwight, who communicates
with classmates via an Origami Yoda finger puppet. Origami
Yoda correctly predicts the date of a pop quiz, solves the mystery of a stolen
classroom Shakespeare bust, and rescues a classmate from social
embarrassment. How can Origami Yoda be so wise when Dwight appears so
incompetent? Can the puppet really predict the future? Tommy is
determined to learn the truth. As the story unfolds, we laugh a lot,
realize that losers aren’t always losers, and discover that greatness sometimes
comes in an unlikely package. Check out the author's Origami Yoda tutorial:</span><br />

ashore as a baby during a hurricane in tiny Tupelo Landing, North Carolina, this summer is looking good for eleven-year-old Moses LoBeau: she will take karate
lessons with best friend Dale Earnhardt Johnson III, plot against confirmed
enemy Anna “Attila” Celeste, waitress at the café run by her adoptive
co-parents, Miss Lana and the Colonel, and continue a life-long search for her
Upstream Mother. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">But summer
takes an unexpected twist: the café’s crankiest patron turns up dead, and the
Colonel is implicated in the crime. With another hurricane bearing down on Tupelo
Landing, Mo and Dale start doing some detective work to
solve an epic mystery. Lafayette
teacher Mrs. McGookin recommends <i>Three Times Lucky</i> for scrumptious summer
reading: “Pick up this Newbery Honor mystery and head to your nearest diner!” </span><br />

Fractured Fairy Tale: </b><i>Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin</i> by Liesl

kingdom where names determine destinies, Rump is the object
of countless jokes and jibes. When the impish twelve-year-old finds a spinning
wheel, however, his luck begins to change. He discovers a talent for turning straw into gold! His friend Red Riding Hood warns that magic can be
dangerous, and she’s right: Rump is woven deeper and deeper into a
terrible curse. To break the spell, Rump embarks on a perilous
journey—encountering pixies, trolls, poison apples, and a wicked queen along
the way. The odds are against him, but bravery, persistence, and wit suggest he just may triumph in the end.</span><br />

begins writing about sixth-grade life. Page after page-turning page, there remains one story
Julian can't bring himself to tell, the one story his teacher—and readers—most want

Queens, New York, <i>Twerp</i> is filled with humor and heartache. Like <i>Walk
Two Moons</i>, this conduct-of-life story will have readers laughing and crying
along with its cast of imperfect but perfectly-created characters. </span></span></div>
