The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
By: Kate DiCamillo
This is a story written from a toy rabbit’s point of view. It’s a tale about his many owners and adventures. Edward learns a lot about life and love. I liked this story a lot, but it made me cry. I would recommend it for 3rd and up. It is worth two AR points and is written at a 4.4 reading level.

Project Mulberry
By: Linda Sue Park
Julia, a Korean American girl, and her friend decide to work on a silkworm project for a club they belong to. Julia does not want her project to be too Korean, and her friend doesn’t like worms. Together they create a unique project. This is a book about friendship, prejudice, and much more. I would recommend it for 5th and up.

The City of Ember
By: Jeanne DuPrau
This is a suspenseful science fiction story with secret doors and messages that lead the main characters, Doon and Lina, on a quest to save the underground city in which they live. I would recommend this book because it fast paced and exciting. It is about a 5th grade level and is worth 9 AR points.

The Watsons go to Birmingham-1963
By: Christopher Paul Curtis
This is a great book and one of my favorites. It is a funny story about a family in 1963 that go to visit their Grandma in Birmingham, Alabama. There are some sad parts, but it's a book that kids like and one you'll probably always remember. Try it; I think you'll like it.
