Harr/LS Teacher joseharr https://padlet.com/kathleen_mckim/homerunbooks/wish/37512292 My dad recommended 'The Contender' by Robert Lipsyte to me when I was in 8th Grade and I loved the book. I have since been able to recommend it to several students.

And Famous Five adventures by Enid Blyton.

Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time 14-book series is also absolutely amazing if you like fantasy books.

I could identify with the character in the book and his family life with his father.\

I particularly liked the power reversal (spoiler alert) of the ordinary boy and his lowly mechanic father getting one over on the aristocratic land owner and embarrassing him in front of his guests.

I loved reading the Trixie Belden mystery series.

I loved reading many classics such as Little Women, Gulliver's Travels, Robinson Crusoe and To Kill a Mockingbird. Sherlock Holdmes is another absolute favorite.  

I really enjoyed the Harry Potter series, but my absolute favorite author is Edward Bloor. Read everyone of his books - all very different and all very relevant!! Our library has them - highly recommended

Recently, I have read World War Z, which is excellent! Am currently reading Oryx adn Crake.

I love to read! Too many books to name.
