[LM_NET] book suggestion needed for 9th grade Humanities

[Beth Molski <bmolski@WAUSAU.K12.WI.US>]

Good morning;

A new teacher is trying to freshen up an "old" curriculum for a 9th grade 
Humanities class.  She is looking for a novel that fits these needs: Somewhat of a 
"classic",  YA, multicultural, and has a theme of rite of passage.  She can not 
use: Ordinary People, To Kill a Mockingbird, Separate Peace or Lord of the Flies.  
Any ideas would be appreciated.  

Thank you,

Beth Molski
