I teach fifth graders and am looking for a novel for the specifi units. What novels have you used that you think are outstanding and would be an excellent addition to enhance these topics? I am including some of the titles I am reading and am interested in your experience with them. Also, we are trying to find books that have a girl as a main character instead of all male main characters. We are using Sign of the Beaver with our Native American unit and Bud,Not Buddy with our unit on the GreatDepression. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.
