[CALIBK12] audio read-along books for third grade girls

[pamanddoug]

Hi Karen,

I listened to Firegirl by Tony Abbott on Books-on-Tape.  It is a very
thought-provoking title for girls (and boys).  It has a Publishers Weekly
starred review:

Title: Firegirl / Tony Abbott.
Publisher: Little, Brown, p2006, c2006
ISBN-13: 978-0-316-01171-6
ISBN-10: 0-316-01171-1
LCCN: 2005007964
Dewey: -Fic-
Classifications: 
Fiction
Interest Level: 3-6
Reading Level: 4.1
Subjects: 
Catholic schools Fiction.
Schools Fiction.
Burns and scalds Fiction.
Disfigured persons Fiction.
Coming of age Fiction.
Notes: A middle school boy's life is changed when Jessica, a girl disfigured
by burns, starts attending his Catholic school while receiving treatment at
a local hospital.

This title would be a good one for class discussion.  It covers issues of
peer pressure, mean behavior, and standing up for what you believe in.
