[LM_NET] Alternatives to Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

[Alma Holtgren <acameron@REMC11.K12.MI.US>]

<>A teacher in my district is looking for a novel to use as an 
alternative for Roll of Thunder because the student has already read it 
(and hated it).

<>He is an 8th grader, an excellent and avid reader we want to 
challenge. The teacher would like to offer another classic 
African-American title but wants to avoid some of the controversial 
content of AA books on many high school reading lists. We're having 
trouble with that.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Alma
