[ISLMA-Share] 3rd-6th grade Book discussion titles

[Yager Betsy]

Heartbeat by Sharon Creech is a great one for reluctant readers because it has very short chapters and is written in stanzas instead of paragraphs.
Because of Mr. Terupt, Wonder and Out of My Mind have also motivated great discussions.

I will be dividing the list into recommended titles for avid readers and recommended books for reluctant readers. The books need to be published in the last five years.
