Hey there! I'm an English teacher at a title 1, 100% disadvantaged school and I'm about to swap to 6th grade from 8th. This may not be the place to ask, but I'm starting to build a classroom library for these kids, who notoriously despise reading. I'm looking for some 6th grade recs to add to my wishlist, as it has almost none from the genre. I'm trying to incorporate choice reading into our schedule every single day, so having a wide selection of 5 stars reads would really help.

Hey there, I'm a 6th grade (previously 8th grade) teacher in a 100% disadvantaged school. I'm trying to instill a love of reading and am starting to build a classroom library for choice reading. I need recs, BADLY! I'm used to teens, so a lot of what I had in mind is a bit too old for them. I literally have two books so far and am checking all the local deals and free little libraries I can. However, I want pretty much all 5 star reads that will draw them in. Please send all the recs my way so I can add them to my wishlist to keep track of!

Major bonus points for Black or POC authors and main characters, I'd like at least half the library to be representative of my kids.

Previously, my kids have loved horror and I think having some offerings for those kids would get them reading for fun.
