The Supervillain’s Guide to Being a Fat Kid by Matt WallaceĪ n outstanding, surprisingly philosophical, poignant story about dealing with bullies, growing in confidence, and the complexities of human beings.

I appreciate that the author skillfully shows readers that kids in wheelchairs are just like everyone else but with different challenges like accessibility (where your chair can go) and getting dressed. It’s a sweet story about taking risks, the importance of finding your tribe, and growing up. When her mom moves them to Oklahoma to help care for her grandfather, even though Ellie’s from the so-called wrong side of the tracks, she makes friends with other trailer park kids - the first friends she’s ever had. Despite many unfair things, Hana stays resilient and determined to graduate from school and help her father in his shop.Įllie is a girl who loves to bake, who has CP (cerebral palsy) and who rolls through life in a wheelchair. Park sets the scene with care and you’ll see a realistic portrayal of life in the 1880s from the point of view from someone who is experiencing racism. After Hana’s mother dies, her father moves the two of them to a small midwestern town. Park writes a wonderfully touching multilayered story about a young half-Asian girl’s life during western expansion, frontier times. It’s also the story of the baby’s magical, bereaved mother, a wicked witch who feeds off sorrow, a woodcarver who wants justice, and most of all, an amazing girl named Luna. She’s a special baby named Luna who accidentally becomes infused with moon magic. Wonderfully crafted and imagined, this 2017 Newbery winner is a fairy tale of sorts about a good witch who rescues one of the town’s many abandoned (sacrificed) babies instead of giving her to another town to adopt and love. The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill

It’s a thought-provoking novel that will challenge kids to consider how their behavior influences the way other people perceive them. Because he’s enjoying the film club and the new (“nerdy”) friends he’s made. Now he’ll have to decide what kind of person he wants to be going forward. Just what kind of person was he? Chase doesn’t think he likes what he’s learning about himself.

But he starts to get clues about his personality when a strange girl dumps ice cream on his head and his little sister is scared of him and his two best friends think it’s funny to torment other kids and treat old people with disregard. No memory of his mom or his friends or who he was as a person. (*For those of you not in the U.S., 4th grade here is about 9-years-old.)Ī head injury after a fall off the roof means Chase has no memory. In addition, if you read aloud an instructional-level book, it can get kids started on a new favorite book series. What’s more, sharing a read-aloud story can offer a wealth of instructional value as well as spark rich discussions. Research shows that reading aloud, as you probably know, expands vocabulary, improves comprehension, develops imagination, increases attention span, and best of all, engages readers in wonderful stories! Teachers and parents, do you need suggestions for good read-aloud books for the 4th grade?
