Dear Next Great Book,
I need your help.  I need to find a book that is funny and is fantastic.  I like all genres except biography and autobiography.  I am a boy in fifth grade.

Your help is WANTED!

Sincerely,

Searching for a Great Book

Dear Searching,

We know that we can help you.  It is great that you know so much about yourself as a reader and about your likes and dislikes of genres.  We are very impressed with that!  We think we have a list for you that could get you started.  See if you like any of them and then let us know and we will keep looking for great books just for you.

• The Secrets of Zoom (This looks like it might be right up your aisle.  It is adventurous and a mystery. It looks like it has twists and turns and that kids really seem to like it.)
• The Genius Files (This book might be just what you are looking for.  It is funny and filled with adventure, spies, kids running for their lives across the United States and a mystery to solve.  We think you should definitely check it out!)
• The Homework Machine  (Read this one to find out what happens when a group of friends create a "homework machine".  It is filled with adventure and excitement and humor.  You will LOVE it!)
• The Unwanteds (This one has been flying around our room because everyone wants to read it.  What would happen if there were some kids who were "unwanted" and what would happen if when they were 13 they were eliminated?  What would you do if you were one of these kids?  We just know you will LOVE this book - read it!)
• The Keepers of the School series (There are now 3 books in this exciting mystery series. It is by Andrew Clements one of our favorite authors.  We think you might like the mystery and the humor.)

We know you will love one or more of these and we would really like to know what you think.  So, please read and then tell us what you thought!

Happy Reading,

Next Great Book
