Sammish Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 For my rising 6th grader, I'm planning on using as science read-alouds: The Forest Unseen (recommended in another thread here) The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind A Dog in the Cave: The Wolves Who Made Us Human I also considered "The Skull in the Rock: How a Scientist, a Boy, and Google Earth Opened a New Window on Human Origins," but I don't think we'll have time.

Lecka Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Edit: I thought Julie of the Woods was non-fiction, but I looked and it is fiction. My daughter liked it a lot last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emba Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This thread is a little old, I know, but what about Rascal, by Sterling North? I didn’t remember it being nonfiction but my DS recently read and enjoyed it, and it’s a memoir (about a boy and his pet raccoon.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
