[LM_NET] BOOK NEEDED

[Sonja Schulz <sschulz@NACOGDOCHES.K12.TX.US>]

I have an 8th grade teacher looking to add a new novel to her teaching
next year.  She wants something "upbeat".  Everything they currently
teach is "depressing"---Night, Diary of Anne Frank, etc.  I need
something that is NOT on this year's or last year's Texas Lone Star
list-too many of the kids have already read them, and that will appeal
to a wide range of students. My school is largely lower-socio-economic,
with an ethnicity pretty evenly split among African-American, Hispanic
and Caucasian-we have few Asian students.  Of course, we need these
suggestions yesterday!

 

I welcome any suggestions! 

 

Thank you,

Sonja Schulz,
