>> - good moral lesson, but not preachy... or a good moral dilemma
>> - character(s) overcoming some sort of adversity in a positive way
>> - perseverance, stick-to-it-iveness
>> - theme or subject matter that encourages discussion
>> - feel-good ending
>> - keeps the 8th graders interested, yet appropriate for 6th grade
>> - not so popular that they would have all read it (like The One and Only
>> Ivan, etc.)
>> - genre doesn't really matter... well, maybe not horror.
>> - able to be read aloud easily because we are hybrid learning

>> Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!  Thank you for sharing
