I seem to be getting a lot of good ones lately, but here is another great example of realistic fiction: Holes. It tells the story of a boy who gets in trouble for something he didn't even do and has to go to a disciplinary camp and dig holes. There is the subject of curses when a promise is broken and crazy characters, but still is something that can happen.
It teaches children to stick to their word and always be honest. The good guys win in the end because they fix the broken promise from the past. Older children should definitely read this book and check out the Disney movie!
I never had to read this book when I was younger but I did see the movie. I am sure the book is way better!
ReplyDeleteI read this to my son last year--he loved it. It is very action packed with great adventure for readers.
