We will be touching on bullying as well for my preservice class, so I'd search for this title by Seeger and see whether it would be good for a read-aloud with would-be teachers. Stay where you are and then leave also caught my eye. The only John Boyne novel I've read was Barnaby Brocket, which was also illustrated by the talented oliver jeffers. Will take note of this title so that we could include it in our upcoming War and Poetry reading theme. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-89676616230529949082014-03-19T12:52:13.898-06:002014-03-19T12:52:13.898-06:00Linda, I haven't heard of any of these books, ...Linda, I haven't heard of any of these books, so I am very happy you shared all of the great titles with me.

As for the Boyne book, I think it would be so interesting to see how they felt about all this 9 year old boy does & manages. It's different, but similar to when I read Hatchet with a group. We talk about the traits needed in order to do hard things, & we wonder if we "really" have them.
