ADD 4th Grade
Drawn from Chinese folktales, lots of meat Agree BN. Sub for Despereaux. || Nelson || In paperback/excellent fantasy $4.54 || The friendship between Indie Lee Chickory and Owen Stone is the most wonderful middle grade boy/girl friendship since Jesse Aaron and Leslie Burke in Katherine Paterson's BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA. TRACING STARS is sweet, sad, funny, suspensful, and hopeful, all at the right times and in perfect proportions. Most recommend 4th -6th. Paper $5.99 ||  ||   ||   || Bauer || [] || Lynch || Back to the Love that Dog type of book THis story is older, and it's told in verse, about a boy and a dog and an old man who find each other. A "sweet" story with illustrations that I think the kids would still enjoy at 4th grade. The prose ties in to core. ||  ||   ||   ||
