I found you via the comment challenge, & love that you offered so many books to choose from. Wouldn't it be fun to gather these & hold a book group with the theme? I'll have to share this with the teachers I work with. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book club idea! The last book is somewhat heavier in tone and subject matter, but all the others would complement each other so well, and would be perfect for middle school!
DeleteKatie, I love these themed Thursday lists! So many great titles that I wouldn't otherwise have grouped together, but work so well to support your theme. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteHa, what a great theme... lying does show up in a lot of youth fiction, doesn't it? And so often, it's lying to create a new image of oneself. Sadly, I'm sure I did that now and then when I was in junior high. Did I learn nothing from fiction?? These liars always get their comeuppance. ;)
