<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">The prologue of The Compound by Boden and the prologue of Solider X by Wulffson are my favs. I used the book Ghost Boys by Rhodes recently and that went well. Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom has an awesome first sentence as well as Black Storm Coming and Dead Girls Don't Write Letters. I read the first paragraph of the first three chapters of the Misadventures of Mad Maude March. I also like to have the kids do exactly what the italicized words of the first part of chapter one and two in The Thing About Georgie.</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font face="'arial black', sans-serif" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#660000">Kathy Wickline</font><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#660000">Unity Junior High Librarian</font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#660000">Tolono, IL</font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#660000"><a href="mailto:wicklinek@unity.k12.il.us" target="_blank">wicklinek@unity.k12.il.us</a></font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#660000"><br></font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#660000">Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @ujhslibrary</font></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Nov 28, 2018 at 11:16 AM Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I'm looking for books that I can do mini read alouds from to try to garner interest.
