Books in verse

Posted by Natalie Weatherman on May 6, 2011 at 2:15am

My students are speeding through my books in verse and I would love your suggestions for more authors/titles of this genre of book.  I teach in a middle school with grades 6-8. 

They have enjoyed: Sonya Sones, Lisa Schroede, some Eileen Hopkins

I have recently bought a few books by Margaret Wild and Steven Herrick as well.

 

Any and all grade appropriate suggestions would be helpful!

 

THANK YOU!

~Natalie

    Karen Hesse "Out of the Dust" and the "Make Lemonade" trilogy by Virginia Euwer Wolff. The content of both these is challenging - perhaps check reviews on Amazon before you decide. They are great books.
