[PW] Looking for a book for discussion at the grade 4-6 level

[Campbell, Barbara A]

I really liked "Lawn Boy" by Gary Paulsen,  and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"
by Jeff Kinney.   Both had me laughing out loud.  I also liked "The
Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp" by Richard Yancey.  Sort of a
mixture between Harry Potter and Indiana Jones with connections to th4e
Arthurian legends.  A great books with a nice blend of u=humor and
seriousness (not depressing, though) is Esme Codell's "Vive la Paris"
That was one of my favorite books last year along with "Rules" by
Cynthia Lord.

Good Luck, Barb
