Collaborating Teachers discussion

I just ordered Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk. Has anyone read it?

This one is on my reading list! I will post when I start reading it. It's supposed to be really good.

I have read it. It is a powerful story that gave me chills. I also just finished Wolk

I also just finished Wolk's new book, Beyond the Bright Sea. I love the way she develops the setting in both books, not to mention the phenomenal character development. She is an amazing writer!

I haven't read this yet but it is on my summer reading list. I read on Amazon that it is thematically akin to, To Kill a Mockingbird, which my school (6-8) decided to shelve because the 8th grade teachers felt that many lessons that could be learned through the text were being lost because of the complexity of the novel coupled with our students low reading levels. I'm interested to see if this could be a good replacement.

Have you read I Kill the Mockingbird by Paul Acompora? It is a middle grade novel. Students want to create interest in the novel by Harper Lee.
