Books, Readers, and Beyond #52 What to Read Exercise 2

I decided to use Library Booklists and Bibliographies, since I use NovelistPlus fairly often. For the 4ht grade girl, I selected Dillon, Dillon, by Kate Banks and Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate Dicamillo. It came under the heading, "Booklists: Children's Fiction Index: Books Featuring Animals/Pets. The website went to Novi Public Library, Mi, which lists titles by grade level.

This site also had suggestions for older children. For the 13 year old brother I found Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz and A Foot in the Grave by Joan Aiken. These might be a bit on the tame side, but without more input about the brother, it might be best to make conservative choices.
