This is an activity sponsored by the Waukesha County Federated Library System that invites children in grades 4 through 6 to read at least 5 of the 15 nominated titles below. Then, in early February of 2009, those students will be eligible to vote for the book that is their favorite. In support of this activity, Martha Merrell’s will offer a 15% discount to any student in grades 4 through 6 who wishes to purchase one or more of the nominated titles.
