[AISLE-Share] eighth grade books

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I use the Lincoln Awards (now Teen Readers Choice Award
<https://www.aisled.org/lincoln.htm>)  as a list to go off of for my 8th
graders, however, I rarely purchase ones that Perma Bound says are 9-12.  I
do order those 7-12.
