Lost and Found by Andrew Clements

Jay starts his sixth grade year at a new school alone because his twin brother Ray is sick. Jay quickly realizes that due to an error in the school office, there is no record of his brother Ray. Finally the two will not be confused as the other one and will not be compared. Together the two launch a plan that requires only one of them to go to school but encounter some unexpected problems along the way. Like Clement's other books, this school related book would be a good read aloud for grades 3-5. Fans of his other books will enjoy Clements newest book.

Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out Of A Tree

Emma-Jean is not like her classmates. She has always known this and has never tried to be more her fellow seventh graders. But Emma-Jean ends up tangled in a mess when she attempts to help another student and sends out a ripple that could ultimately end with her being suspended. This book would appeal best to girls in grades 4 and up.

Eleven by Patricia Reilly Giff

Upon first looking at the cover of this book, it struck me as a book that needed to be previewed before being put out on the shelf. The front cover seems somewhat "scary". However after reading the book I would say this is one of my favorite Giff's book. The book would be a good read for kids in grades 4 and up that enjoy mystery and suspense. Through the entire book the reader is trying to figure out what is significant about the number 11 and how Sam came to be with his grandfather Mack...IF Mack is really is his grandfather.
