@AimeeSatterlee AUDACITY and BLOOD WATER PAINT are fantastic. I would also include Allan Wolff's THE SNOW FELL THREE GRAVES DEEP: VOICES OF THE DONNER PARTY and THE WATCH THAT ENDS THE NIGHT: VOICE FROM THE TITANIC, to the amazing historical fiction list. They are innovative in voice and form.

@Olivernoonday Sweet and cozy feeling. Nice! Reminds me of Kate Messner's Over and Under the Snow

@sierraauthor I haven't read Deborah Wiles' BOBBY: A STORY OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY, yet, but the Horn Book gives it an amazing review. https://t.co/noUla5vaiD

@aslan_magic Mighty Inside by Sundee Frazier or have you thought about nonfiction like Crash From Outer Space by Candy Fleming. It’s a page-turner. Although might not be good for a read aloud.

@AndrewsSusanM @FableFiddler @kocusa @OneWheelONeil @lozzawriting @JThomasABC Thank you! I'm surprised that you haven't read novels in verse. I think you would enjoy them! Especially from poets like Nikki Grimes (her memoir), Lesléa Newman (October Mourning), Jacqueline Woodson (Brown Girl Dreaming), Allan Wolf, David Elliott, Laura Amy Schlitz.

@OneWheelONeil I have not read the Wheel of Time books. A famous MG mystery novel: The Westing Game head-hops. I'm not a fan of the frequency with which the author did it (sometimes from para to para), but others would argue differently. James Joyce's short story The Dead does it masterfully.
