Book Talk Books 2023-2024

I can recommend books all day long, but sometimes (often?) kids' opinions and tastes differ greatly from mine. Therefore, on checkout days, I have students in grades 3-5 recommend books to each other via book talks - short little "ads" for titles they love. 

Here are their recommended books from the past school year - most popular at the top. Series and graphic novel favorites endure, so I've indicated NEW titles in those categories from last year.
