5th grade is looking for eco-themed book to read

by Kristine

Aug 27, 2009

One of the Gifted and talented teachers in my school was asking me to recommend a novel with an eco-friendly theme to it, sort of a "save the environment" type of thing. This would be for our 5th grade gifted level. I am having a hard time coming up with something. While I am on it, any new great novels for 8th grade that anyone would like to recommend? Thanks!!

I second that Look no further than these. In fact, I would love to do lit circles with each of these and have each group do a project based on the issue presented.
