Lucie's Best Books

As part of our end-of-year wrap up in 5th grade, I asked my students to compile their own #BestBookList. They could choose an overall theme or not. You can see all of their recommendations at #BestBookList. For individual book recommendations, check out our  #iLoveMG posts. If you are looking for younger readers, #3rdfor3rd features recommendations from when I taught third grade.

Best Books

Recommended by Lucie


Masterminds is a fun-filled book about a “real safe” world that might be a trap. 

The Wolf’s Curse is about a boy whose grandpa dies and has to learn how to take care of himself. 

Deenie is a book about a girl who has scoliosis and is embarrassed about it and has confidence issues with her back brace.

Just as Long a We're Together is about two girls who then find a friend who just moved there and then starts to take over the friend group. 

Restart is about a boy who falls off his roof and doesn’t know why. Lose your memory and find your life.
