You will be reading plenty for the next 40 years (or whenever you retire)!  However, I found "The First Days of School" by Harry Wong very helpful, as well as reading lots of accounts of beginning teachers.  Check out "Educating Esme" by Esme Raji Codell, especially if you might teach in a city.  It's, um...disillusioning.

It's very obvious that you're trying to easily find the answer to some kind of school question. Go home and read your books!

My favorite has always been Shakespeare. There's lots of help on the web for it, and it's just classic. To understand Shakespeare will give you lots of laughs especially with these new teen movies out that rip him off :) Plus it's just cool to read the stories that have inspired people for hundreds of years.

Because your school district and your teacher are to lazy to locate a book that pertains to issues of today and that children can relate to.  To kill a mocking bird is a excellent book, but for an adult, not a school age student. there are tons of books out their that are more "in touch" with today's society and that kids will actually learn from because they liked reading it.  Sorry you're stuck, maybe you can get some help with the homework on here.

Hatchet, The River, Where the Red Fern Grows, Harry Potter, White Fang, The Indian in the Cupboard, A Wrinkle In Time (there are several books in the series), The Janitor's Boy, Gold Dust, Tuck Everlasting (yes, boys like it too. They like the book better than the movie.) The Time Bike, From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil Frankweiler, The Fighting Ground,Call me Francis Tucket. If he's a good reader, try The Westing Game, The Giver, or Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. These are all more advanced. If he is in Gr. 7 and a good reader, these will be doable.\n\nThis should get you started. CHeck with the school librarian or the public library. Happy reading!

Can you be specific in what you're asking? If not, just grab any of the thousands of textbooks out there and read.\n\nWe don't have enough space here to cover it all.

I just took a college adolescent literature class and learned lots of fun things.  Is your assignment to do a creative book report?  I had to do 3 of them.  On one I used the "Real story of the Three Little Pigs".  I did a puppet show.  It was fun to do but took quite a bit of time.  I also did a book box once.  You read a story, I used "The Whipping Boy", and put 5 or so things in a box, or container from the story.  I used a basket for my container and put a loaf of bread, a crown, a Mr. Potato Head and a few other things in it.  You will have to read the book to understand.  The last one I did was the sequel to "Holes", "Small Steps".  I made a poster filled with clip art pictures from the computer of things from the book and called it an I Spy.  Then I cut out the letters for small steps and glued over the items.  It is meant to be a creative way to tell about a book you read instead of the boring old writing of a two page book report.  The thing to remember is to pick a book you like and have fun.

Many schools have different Accelerated Reader book lists. You really need to check with your school, such as the counselor's office.

I have faced this situation recently in my own classroom.  I'm not sure what grade level you are working with but I know of a picture book that would work for any level.  It is titled I'm New Here by Bud Howlett.  It is about a hispanic girl who actually goes through the experience of being called "taco" by the boys at school and the worries of fitting in and making friends.  It would be a great way to open up a discussion.  I feel like I was meant to answer your question tonight.  If you need any other ideas please let me know!
