The City of Ember, by Jeanne DuPrau is an exciting adventure book for upper elementary students. The city of Ember was built as a last refuge for the human race. Two hundred years later, the great lamps that light the city are beginning to flicker. When Lina finds part of an ancient message, she’s sure it holds a secret that will save the city. She and her friend Doon must race to figure out the clues before the lights go out on Ember forever!
Canyons by Gary Paulsen is a great book to read aloud to upper elementary or middle school students. It's the story of two boys who live in the same place but in different time periods and how their lives are connected. My 5th graders loved it, and couldn't wait for me to read it each day!
