Scar Island by Dan Gemeinhart

4.0

My students and I LOVED this read aloud. I had kids begging me not to stop right from the start. We had so many discussions around right vs. wrong, guilt, and character. We had many debates thanks to the many characters and their traits. Definitely a read aloud for 4th grade as it covers some heavier topics that need discussion throughout, but engaging up through middle school. As a bonus, I found so many sentences that I could use as mentor sentences for writing with my students. Well written!
