[LM_NET] TARGET: MIDDLE-Need argumentative titles like Tuck Everlasting

[Pete Madden <pmadden@ILLINOISALUMNI.ORG>]

Dear LM_Netters,

Our Language Arts department is looking to buy class-sets of three
fiction titles (150 pages or less) that have an argumentative plot line
where students could choose a position related to what the character(s)
had to decide and then defend that choice in a persuasive essay. Tuck
Everlasting is a good example where students would choose whether to
drink from the spring or not and then explore the implications of that
decision. 

Thanks!
Pete
