dang...i read all these novels (the outsiders, catcher in the rye, 1984, beowulf, etc) in high school...i guess my school district was a little behind...

one book i do remember reading in jr. high was "and then there were none" by agatha christie. otherwise i only remember reading a bunch of short stories in jr. high like "flowers for algernon" (spelling?)...

"The Giver" by Lois Lowry
Not exactly a difficult read, but very moving. I still pick it up from time to time. 👍

 

[busdriver]

oh yeah i just remembered..."the phanton tollbooth" and "a wrinkle in time"...

roll of thunder hear my cry, and Of mice and Men... two great books. Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer was good too, i might add.

The Phantom Tollbooth is another great choice. There's some refined taste in children's lit in this thread. 😉
