5th Grade Read Alouds:A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue ParkThe New York Times bestseller A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about two eleven-year-olds in Sudan, a girl in 2008 and a boy in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours walk fromher home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees whocover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Enduring every hardship fromloneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on tointersect with Nyas in an astonishing and moving way.

The Witches by Roald Dahl"This is not a fairy tale. This is about real witches." So begins one of Roald Dahl's best books ever, and, ironically, it

is such a great story because the premise is perfectly plausible from the outset. When the narrator's parents die in a carcrash on page two, he is taken in by his cigar-smoking Norwegian grandmother, who has learned a storyteller'srespect for witches and is wise to their ways. The bond between the boy and his grandmother becomes thecenterpiece of the tale--a partnership of love and understanding that survives even the boy's unfortunatetransformation into a mouse. And once the two have teamed up to outwitch the witches, the boy's declaration that he'sglad he's a mouse because he will now live only as long as his grandmother is far more poignant than eerie.

Boy by Roald DahlFrom his own life, of course! As full of excitement and the unexpected as his world -famous, best-selling books, Roald Dahl's

tales of his own childhood are completely fascinating and fiendishly funny. Did you know that Roald Dahl nearly lost his nose ina car accident? Or that he was once a chocolate candy tester for Cadbury's? Have you heard about his involvement in theGreat Mouse Plot of 1924? If not, you dont yet know all there is to know about Roald Dahl. Sure to ca ptivate and delight you,the boyhood antics of this master storyteller are not to be missed! Maniac Magee by Jerry SpinelliJeffrey Lionel "Maniac" Magee might have lived a normal life if a freak accident hadn't made him an orphan. After living wit hhis unhappy and uptight aunt and uncle for eight years, he decides to run--and not just run away, but run. This is where themyth of Maniac Magee begins, as he changes the lives of a racially divided small town with his amazing and legendary feats.
