How to Eat Fried Worms (we also had to make up receipes using gummy worms) The Pinballs Bridge to Terebithia Sorry that 2 of these are movies now...

I remember that I was supposed to read Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli, but never finished it. It was good as far as I read in it though. I did read Bridge To Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. I remember being QUITE upset about the ending. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt. GREAT book. Really helped me gain comfort about death at that age. Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor. It was really advanced for that grade. I would probably react with equal shock now. That was all 5th grade. 4th...I remember reading Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine, but I think I was allowed to choose that one. I loved that. Haven't seen the movie though. And...I read The Wish Giver by Bill Brittain independently because one of my friends was in love with it. Still one of my favorites. Great moral to it. Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. One of the best pieces of Holocaust literature I've ever read I think. Also one of the most vivid books I remember. I think Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis was 6th grade...The Old Man & The Sea by Ernest Hemingway, Harry Potter & The Sorcerors Stone by JK Rowling, Holes by Lois Sacher, Mary Bloody Mary by Carolyn Meyer....etc.

Of mice and Men. That is the only one I remember since I mostly got Cliff Notes anyways.

I remember I got in trouble in 5th grade for doing a book report on Huckleberry Finn, Because I referred to "Nigger Jim" during my oral presentation. I thought my mother was going to kill my teacher and principle during the meeting that followed.

bridge to terebithia is the only one i rememeber from those years, and then in grade 9 we did the one with the british boys who get shipwrecked on an island and go crazy which was supposed to reflect the war at the time .. i toooottaallly forget what it's called

I don't remember grade school novels, but in high school the two books that were themost influential were The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck.

Tom Sawyer was the one I remember the most.

Im in 7th grade, and we never studied any novels. NEVER! I will consider myself lucky.
