[CALIBK12] Suggested reading for Middle School

[Blanche Woolls]

Get a copy of H.W. Wilson's Middle School Catalog. It's a good start and 
they are all recommended. The only problem is many in there may be out of 
print.

Then try the lists of recommended books from the Association for Library 
Services to Children (an ALA Division).

It's always a good idea to ask the children to make suggestions. You might 
ask a couple of parents to bring their children to the nearest bookstore 
and watch what they select there.
