Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Every Tuesday they post a new Top Ten list prompt. This week’s theme is a freebie. I’ve decided to do Top Ten Books My Daughter Cloie Wants Me to Read. (She’s here helping me with this post. 🙂 ) If you have a middle grader or young adult at home, you may find a good recommendation here!
10. Chocolate Fever by Robert Kimmel Smith
I don’t know what it is about, but with a title like this I may have to give it a try.
9. The Homemade Stuffing Caper by John V. Madormo
8. Niagara Falls, or Does It? by Henry Winkler
(yes, THAT Henry Winkler. I had to look.)
7. Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume
I did actually read this one when I was her age, but it’s been a little while and I don’t remember much about it.
6. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit
Cloie says : I don’t usually like historical fiction, but this one had a fantasy twist that made it really interesting.
5. Cinderskella by Amie Borst
Cloie’s description : It is an epic suspenseful fantasy. (Sounds good to me!)
4. The Candymakers by Wendy Mass
3. Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan
Cloie’s description : A tearjerker that shows the difficulties of being a Mexican immigrant in California during the Great Depression.
2. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
1. Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson
Cloie’s Description : The best book in the whole world ever.

Uglies is on my TBR as well. Your daughter has good taste, I remember loving the Judy Blume books. This week I did Favorite WWII Books for my Top Ten Tuesday.

Chocolate Fever is indeed a great title! Funny that “Fever” pops up again in the last pick. I took a quick look at it on GoodReads; it seems that personal stories set during epic events can be especially powerful.

They can – I found it interesting that although she says she doesn’t usually like historical fiction, her #3 and #1 books are exactly that type of story!

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Tuck Everlasting, Fever 1793. Yes, yes and yes!!! And I totally agree with Choie about Fever. She’s so right. Does she have a book blog I can follow? 🙂
