Why 4th grade? Many of our schools in NJ assign 4th graders a book report on a mystery of their choice. There are many good ones and given that the NJ 2007 Summer Reading theme was "Get a Clue" there are many lists circulating. So here are a few that should capture the range of reading abilities and interests of those adventure-seeking 9-10 year olds.
