Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell out of a Tree

by Lauren Tarshis




Emma-Jean is not your normal 7th grade student, and that is okay with her. She likes to watch the people around her, until one day when someone asks her for help.
She is more then ready. Only her help is different.
Emma is like most students, she really wants to belong.

Seer of Shadows by Avi

The "Scariest book that I have read in a long time!" Imagine that each time you take a photo an unknown item begins to appear. In each picture that image becomes clearer. So clear that it begins to come to life, and seek revenge. It's more than just moving things around. This ghost wants a life for a life....

Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson

Creating Peace One School at a Time

What an amazing story! Can you imagine climbing a mountain, in another country, and getting lost? Imagine being cold and hungry, in a place where you don't even know if people exist. This is the story of one man who returns the kindness he has been shown. He provides this village with a school, something they would really needed in this village. Of course there are problems on the way...like getting the supplies to the right place, building a bridge, ect. And of course, what you do for one group of people, you are asked to do for others. Don't forget to look at his photo's and read the interview with his daughter at thend of the book.
