Re: [LM_NET] TARGET: Fiction set in Asia - 7th grade

[Lisa Hunt <lisa3moon@YAHOO.COM>]

I read such a great story about civil war in Cambodia.  The Stone Goddess 
(originally titled Gathering the Dew) by Ho Minfong is outstanding!!

Kurt and Kristine Wildner <kwildner@AFO.NET> wrote:  What fiction books, set in 
Asia, would you recommend for 7th grade? We are trying to tie literature to Social 
Studies. The characters have to be living in Asia, not moved to the US.

I already have
When My Name Was Keoko by Linda Sue Park 
>Single Shard by Linda Sue Park >
>Under the Persimmon Tree by Suzanne Fisher Staples 
>Shabanu Daughter of the Wind - Suzanne Fisher Staples >
>Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes - by Eleanor Coerr
>Diaries - China
>The Diary of Ma Yan >
>Falling Leaves - The True Story of an Unwanted Chines Daughter by
>Adeline Yen Mah 
books by Laurence Yep - Dragonwings,>Dragon Gate etc. 

Can you suggest any others? Please respond to me directly. I will post a hit.

Thank you
