Here is another approach ..
Can someone tell me a book that you can read during the 8th grade unit? Example: The Maze Runner. What is another book we got to choose ?
Did your class give you a list of books to choose from? We have no way of knowing what "unit" you are being taught, what school you attend, or what on-line school you are using. There are thousands and thousands of books you could read.
I go to connections academy
Lexi, we don't know what unit Connections is teaching. We are not part of Connections. Did they give you a list of books they recommend for you to choose from? Are you supposed to go to the library and find something on your own? You asked for a summary of a book someone else has read, which suggests you might want to avoid reading a book on your own (we don't know). It's hard to help you when you are not telling us what you need, and why. You said it's a "compare and contrast" question. What question? Be specific!
I could probably come up with my own reading list of books I think would be good for an eighth-grader to read, both fiction and non-fiction, but I'm not at all sure that will help you BECAUSE I don't know what the "unit" is all about.
To find another book for an 8th-grade unit, you can consider several options:
1. Consult your teacher: The best source of information is your teacher. They may have provided a curated list of books for the unit or can suggest books that align with the curriculum objectives.
2. Talk to your classmates: Discussing with your classmates can give you insights into what books they have chosen or what books they find interesting for the unit.
3. Use book recommendation websites: Websites like Goodreads, Book Riot, and Common Sense Media offer book recommendations for various grade levels. You can search specifically for books recommended for 8th-grade students or browse through lists created by book lovers and educators.
4. Visit your school library or local bookstore: The school library or a nearby bookstore often has a dedicated section for young adult or middle-grade fiction. You can explore these sections and read book summaries, reviews, and even flip through a few pages to see if a particular book catches your interest.
Remember, the choice of book will depend on the specific requirements and themes of your unit. It's important to consider factors like reading level, relevance to the curriculum, and personal preferences.
