Booklist: Middle School Must-Haves

[slayground]

Kim, a middle school teacher, requested a booklist for middle schoolers. I started listing away and had to stop myself before I hit 100 books. Then I typed this up and just keep going

Great list!
I'll also add the the Phantom Tollbooth - can't remember the author's name!

I also will suggest my own series, both kids and teachers have been enjoying it a lot!!
Erec Rex: The Dragon's Eye (book 1)
Erec Rex: The Monsters of Otherness (book 2)

Thanks!!

Nice to meet you, Kaza!

The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster is one of my all-time favorite books.

Thanks! Great to meet you, too!
I loved it - but I used to get SO scared by the picture of the faceless guy in the back. (Don't know why now, it doesn't look remotely scary!)

Hey - I just got this amazing animation clip from Jon Fesmire for Erec Rex. I was blown away. (It's all I can think about today.) It's on YouTube:
