If you want a wonderfully funny book, try Betsy Duffey's VIRTUAL CODY. It's great fun, and the children I've recommended it to, also love it.
Other titles I recommend is OUT OF THE DUST by Karen Hesse and UNDER THE PEAR TREE by Brenda Seabrooke. Both novels are written in a series of brief, unrhymed verse which stand alone as poems and together, becomes a narrative. But there the similarity ends Although OUT OF THE DUST does portray the gritty living of the dust storm era, it does bring to life a wonderful heroine. UNDER THE PEAR TREE is a quiet book of three girls (the same three in JUDY SCUPPERNONG) who one summer discover boys and suddenly the summer is "ripe with possibilities".
