Suggestions for next month...
What do you want to read next? Have any books caught your eye? Please be sure to give the correct title and author in your response. I will read a few reviews and check out the book to make sure that it is discussable and appropriate for middle school audiences.

I've thought about it, and I realized that we already have a fabulous list of book suggestions that we all over looked: Black-eyed Susan books. So, since I'm the blogmaster here, I'm pulling rank and making the executive decision to start with those since I know we have multiple copies of the books in the media center already. I hope you enjoy them; I know the committee works hard each year to pick some truly excellent reads.
I think we should read the golden compass. My dad says its very contriversal, (did i spell that right) so i think it would be a good discussion book.
I actually just read The Golden Compass over Thanksgiving break. I figured with all the controversy in the news about since the movie is coming out, I needed to finally read it and see what all the fuss was about. We've used the book in Page Turners before (the one book I didn't read that summer!). I don't want to steal a book from the summer time rotation, but if the powers that be decide to take it out of the rotation, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to opening it up for discussions here. I know there has been talk of using it in the classroom, if that happens then after the class is finished, I could put up a section to discuss it online. I'll keep you posted Jackie!
