Best books in 2009 for grades 2 - 5?
Hi there,
I have a self-serving question to ask the librarians: As I prepare for the holiday with the kids at home, can you recommend some great books from 2009 that my kids shouldn't miss? Thank you!

I can only speak for 5th
I can only speak for 5th grade, I'm afraid. But the Missing series by Margaret Peterson Haddix is wonderful. Found is the first book, and Sent is the second. I believe there will be a third. I,Q: Independence Hall by Roland Smith is the first in a wonderful series, although I think it came out last year. If you have a girl, Boys Are Dogs by Leslie Margolis has not been able to stay on my shelves. I think a really terrific book for 4-5th grade and for any gender in 2009 would have to be Extra Credit by Andrew Clements. If I think of any more, I'll be sure to add to the list! :)
The New York Times book
The New York Times book section publishes an annual list of best children's books, and it's all available free online...for now.

Thanks Ashley for the suggestions! Just read the description for Missing and it looks like a fun read for *me*
