Recommended Reading from Room 301

The school year just ended and I have some things I need to write about, but I'm still processing the school year that was.  For today, I've decided to share the titles my third graders have designated as "must reads." Here for you, in no particular order, are their favorite books from this year.  If they are books I've written about over at NextBestBook, I've included the link.
