Check out the best of the 8th Grade Book Trailers 2008 by clicking HERE!!! 

I thought that you kids might enjoy visiting the websites maintained by the authors of the books on our 8th Grade Project list. I know that when I get really excited about a book that I’ve read, I usually want to know what else the author has written so that I can go track those books down!

Here, I’ve done the work for you!

Most of these authors provide you with ways to contact them, so if you really liked what you read then you might consider letting them know how you feel! If there is no link for a particular author, that means I had serious trouble finding a site for them. If you find one on your own, let me know and I’ll create the link!

Happy clicking,

Mrs. N.
