http://www.stuff-and-nonsense.net/2010/09/middle-school-book-list.html - this blog post has a huge list!

Love the list!

I remember reading some of those and loving them! Will have to go add a bunch more to my "to buy" list.



Oh -- I LOVE Half Price Books! We may have a huge collection of books, but I almost always buy them at super low prices. I got the entire Anne of Green Gables set at $0.25/book the other day. I'll go in with my "to buy" list (okay.... spiral notebook) in hand and start with all of the clearance sections. Anything on my "to buy" list comes home along with any of the other random stuff that looks too good to miss (usually these turn out to be history books that you'd never think to go looking for).
I often come out with a big bag full for $5-10!
