Two Middle Grade Books 2014

Middle Grade Readers 1) One Dog and His Boy - Written by Eva Ibbotson, Published by Scholastic Inc. New York, NY 2014. Hal is just an ordinary kid with a large dream of owning a dog.

It not only teaches your children about the power of friendship and love  but it takes them on a journey through life. I highly recommend this book for your middle graders.
