This the prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. In it Bilbo Baggins along with a group of dwarves and a wizard venture to reclaim the dwarf's homeland which was taken by a dragon. Along the way Bilbo finds a ring that changes his life forever and helps the group successfully take back their mountain. This middle school or high school text could be used as a character study on Bilbo who is one of the most infamous and complex characters in fiction history.

This is the first of the trilogy Lord of the Rings. It is where the journey begins of the nine guardians to take the ring to Mordor. Along the way they each get scattered and Sam and Frodo are left alone to complete the task. I think a final literature project on the trilogy as a whole would exciting for students who are interested in high school or middle school.

This is the second part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. In it the kingdom of Rohan is defended and Soromon is defeated while Frodo and Sam still struggle to get the ring to Mordor. This book is a great high school or middle school text that students could use as a final project connecting all three parts of trilogy.

This is the last part of the Lord of Rings Series where the ring is finally destroyed by Frodo at mountain of fire and Mordor's Kingdom is ruined forever. This is most likely a high school text even though I read this series in middle school. It is a great book to end a student's survey of a series.

This is an upper elementary text that brings in a lot of background and beyond the text treasure for students to uncover. It is about a spunky girl who lives in a blue collar family with her dad and has somewhat of a dead-beat mom who plans to move away. The goal of the little girl is to impress her mom so much she will not move, but is rivaled by another show stealer in the town. This is a great chance for student's to reflect on how they view their parents and to connect with a text.

This is book I noticed in a book store around the 9/11 anniversary and saw it on the title talk hashtag later which worked out well. I also read the Nine Ten book because I liked this one so much. This is a story about a child and her friends who do not understand the pain and history of 9/11 because they were not alive when it happened. They decide to investigate for themselves the behind it and uncover some very personal things they did not know about. This would be a great book for middle schoolers to read and discuss because they can directly relate to the characters.

This is a story that personalizes 9/11 in a dramatic way. It follows the lives of four students from very different backgrounds and into the tragedy each having their own perspective on it. This is a great book to have students read as they learn about 9/11 for upper elementary age students.

Marty, the neighbor, works to keep the dog and makes amends with the original owner. This is a book that could be used for a character study and a beyond the text analysis. This could be an upper middle school text.
