reading groups.

Will Hobbs books are good for both boys and girls: http://www.willhobbsauthor.com/
 
Laura Halse Anderson is good: http://www.writerlady.com/  and Fever 1793 book
 
Here in Connecticut we have the NUTMEG BOOKS where Connecticut Librarians pick a 
set of books each year and the students vote which is the best.  Check out our 
lists: http://www.nutmegaward.org/ and link to the archives to see the past 10 
years or so of winners and the nominees for each year at:
http://www.nutmegaward.org/Archives/index.htm.   These are all really geared toward 
the Middle Grades (until this year which now has a Teen list too).

        A teacher and I are wanting to start a Book Discussion group at out middle 
school next year.  Do any of you have any tips or suggestions?  Also, do you have 
any suggestions on good titles to use that maybe aren't so popular that everyone 
will have already read them?
