Schooled

We just read a really good book, kind of easy for our 7th graders, but very fun! It's called "Schooled" by Gordon Korman. It's about an 8th grade boy who is home schooled on a commune. He's never watched TV and he's never eaten pizza. Then, he has to go to public school. He's thrown into 8th grade and the story follows his adjustment process, which is quite unique.
Another good book (also very easy to read) is "The Boy Who Dared" by Susan Campbell Bartoletti. We are only halfway through, but it is very captivating. It is about the life of a heroic German youth who dared to stand up against the Nazi regime. The boy is also LDS.
Know of any good books? Any recommendations?
We will keep sending emails to everyone to let them know about what we've been reading!
