My Grade 5 list for the 2012 Summer Reading Game.

Dog Sense by S. B. Collard

Fatty Legs by M. Pokiak-Fenton
Amelia Lost by C. Fleming
Igraine the Brave by C. Funke
The Graveyard Book by N. Gaiman
The Exchange Student by K. Gilmore
Hide & Seek by K. Grant
Baboon by D. Jones
The 6th Grade Nickname Game by G. Korman
Liesl & Po by L. Oliver
A Dog's Way Home by B. Pyron
Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians by B. Sanderson
Ghostopolis by D. TenNapel
Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief by W. Van Draanen
The Ravenmaster's Secret by E. Woodruff

I have not read them all, which makes composing the list so much more difficult. Some I've just been meaning to read for a long time, and others came recommended from co-workers and goodreads.

In the next couple of weeks I'll be focusing my entries on these books. In the mean time if you like, you can check out the only one I've reviewed so far Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians.

Ratings

The ratings are all out of 5
(1 being the least likely I would recommend a book or resource, and 5 being the most likely).

A book with a five rating is one that I would absolutely seek out to give as a gift or add to my own personal library.

Few books will receive five. It would have to be a great read, something worth reflecting on or thinking about after the story is done, and beautiful to look at.

But just because a book has a three rating doesn't mean it isn't worth reading or recommending. It might mean that I think it has a specific readership and is therefore more difficult to recommend as readily. Or it might mean I have conflicting feelings about it. If that's the case I'll try to let you know!
