September Book Genre - Adventure!

Each month this year, we are inviting all 5th graders to try out a different genre of books.  If you choose to participate, you will pick a book in the given genre, read it, and then post the title, author, and your thoughts about the book and genre with your classmates here on this blog.  This is a great opportunity to try a type of book that you might not have otherwise.  Many of the books will not fit into just one genre.  It is fine to choose a book that belongs to multiple genres, like scary/adventure or historical fiction/adventure or mystery/adventure - just as long as it is adventure!  If you need help getting started, here is a sample of some authors in this library that write adventure books:

Jean Craighead George
Margaret Peterson Haddix
Peg Kehret
Gordon Korman
