TARGET: Schoolwide Novel

[Sylvia Seawell <SSSea1@AOL.COM>]

I have checked the archives on this subject and found several queries but no
responses.  Hopefully, this one will work some magic.

Our high school is considering instituting a schoolwide reading program, with
all students reading (independently and/or corporately) the same novel.
Our students' reading level is across-the-board but skewed to the lower end
for high school.  The ideal book choice would probably be "hip" without too
much racy language, although a classic could be chosen.  Promoting character
growth would be a plus.

We hope to schedule several activities to promote this and build upon it.
Have any of your schools tried such a project?  If so, any suggestions for a
suitable novel or ideas for implementation will be gratefully received.
