=Welcome to the Fifth Grade Author Study Wiki= This wiki is the place for us to collect information on an ongoing basis on the authors and books we read in 5th grade. If you are a visitor to this wiki, we welcome your input. Please be respectful of the hard work we have done and add helpful, positive information.

Basic Information
Over the course of the year we have read books by a lot of great authors. Now is your chance to pick one of them to study more in depth. Read over the list of books and authors below. In the spring, students pick one of the authors. Each student then reads at least 2 more books by this author. In addition each student does some research on the author.

The Author and Book List Page has a list of all the books we have read with the authors. Each author name is a link to the page devoted to that author. The author pages have lists of the books that author has written and a few link to biographical information. Below that is room for summaries of the books. Please add information in this area as you read new books. If there is already a summary, add or edit. In particular you might suggest what other books it reminds you of or who might enjoy the book. Also, if you had trouble finding the book, feel free to indicate that as well
