Today I am responding to a request. A friend of mine is facilitating a book club this summer for a group of 6th grade girls. She told me that these girls would most enjoy novels about girls in realistic situations – in other words, no Percy Jackson or Black Beauty. I did a little browsing through my home and library book shelves and pulled books I think they might like. Here they are:
If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period by Genifer Choldenko
Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech
Every Soul a Star by Wendy Mass
The View from Saturday by E.L. Konigsburg
Friendship for Today by Patricia McKissack
Waiting for Normal by Leslie Connor
Millicent Min: Girl Genius by Lisa Yee
Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
A Crooked Kind of Perfect by Linda Urban
Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan
