[LM_NET] Tar: books for 4th grade

[DMickelson <coreys@CHIBARDUN.NET>]

I am so excited, a 4th grade teacher came to me first before selecting classroom 
novels. She seemed willing to look for something current, with strong female 
characters or different point of view. She does the Prince and the Pauper, Jane 
Addams, and Jackie Robinson.
I would appreciate any suggestions that would tie in with these topics or time 
periods.

Also I was trying to think of a new book for a student that I am having a brain 
freeze over. It is a new book that takes place in New York and the background story 

is the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. The picture on the cover shows the pillars 
of the bridge. Ring any bells?
