[CALIBK12] Recommend some biographies?

[Kathy Goodwin]

Jeri Ferris now lives in northern California and is in our Placer Area Reading Council (PARC) book club. I talked with her recently and she is visiting southern California (where she taught and lived for many years) in November and would be available for school visits. Visit her web site for more information about her biographies, current projects, and school visits. One of the most familiar titles is Go Free or Die: A Story About Harriet Tubman. http://www.jerichaseferris.com/ or e-mail  jchaseferris at sbcglobal.net

I'm looking to update our biography section with some new blood. Our biggest group of readers are our fifth graders, who do a biography report each year, but I'm hoping to draw other students to them for just general reading. What are some of your new favorites for say 4th -8th grade? Thank you so much. -Sarah
