[Leslie Kanno <lkanno@PACBELL.NET>]

To begin their study of the American Revolution, a 5th grade teacher is
looking for novels (but nonfiction would be ok) her students can read in =
lit
circles which feature protest or rebellion against the government or =
another
authoritative body (e.g., school, community).  I've been trying to think =
of
some that aren't set during that period but are more contemporary or set =
in
the future.

Some that I've come up with are:

.  The giver, Gathering blue - Lois Lowry

.  Among the hidden - Margaret Haddix Petersen

.  Save Halloween - Stephanie Tolan

.  The fragile flag - Jane Langton

.  Fire in the valley - Tracey West

Can you recommend any others?  A search of the archives came up empty.

Thanks,
