Frindle by Andrew Clements
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but the frindle is mightier yet! At least that’s what Nick Allen thinks when he makes up the word frindle to replace pen, much to the dismay of his fifth-grade language arts teacher, dictionary devotee Mrs. Granger. The furor that follows makes for a story the students and teachers alike will cheer.
November 2001
White Water by P. J. Peterson
Greg is full of fear when he embarks on a white-water rafting trip with his father and his half brother, James. However, when his father gets bitten by a rattlesnake, Greg has to put aside his fear and take charge. It’s up to him and James to get down the river to safety.

My Name Is Maria Isabel by Alma Flor Ada
Maria Isabel Salazar Lopez is proud of her name and the significance of its origin. But her teacher decides to call her Mary Lopez to avoid confusion with two other students who have the same first name. Being called by a different name complicates Maria Isabel’s transition to the new school, causing misunderstanding and hurt feelings. The youngster struggles with her adjustment until she realizes that an assignment to write about her greatest wish offers the perfect solution.

Where Was Patrick Henry on the 29th of May? By Jean Fritz
“Give me liberty or give me death!” Most people know that Patrick Henry made this famous declaration. What is not so widely known is how the history-making governor entered the world of politics. This biography traces Patrick’s path from his carefree, barefoot days as a child to his influential days as a politician and well-respected orator. Jean Fritz reveals humorous and memorable details about this man who became a 1700's hero.

The Year of Miss Agnes by Kirkpatrick Hill
Ten-year-old Frederika, “Fred” for short, knows that teachers never last for more than a year at the one-room school in her small Alaskan village. Some even leave before the school year is over! However, the teacher who arrives on October 1, 1948 is different. She talks funny, she wears pants, and she has unique ideas about learning. Packed with insight and inspiration, this book encourages students and teachers to be true to themselves.
May 2002 To be announced.
