Re: [LM_NET] Novel study suggestions wanted

[libraryth@COMCAST.NET]

My fifth grade teachers are looking for a novel study in the genre of historical 
fiction.  They would like it to tie with their history learning objectives (SOL's 
if you are a Virginian).  They learn about American history from the Revolutionary 
War, Civil War, Reconstruction and government.
Again, any successful suggestions are appreciated.  I have recommended Elijah of 
Buxton, by Christopher Paul Curtis.  The fourth grade already reads Blood on the 
River by Carbone.
Thanks!
