[LM_NET] TARGET: Middle School Books about Islam/Muslim characters

[Sandra Lingo <slingo47@FUSE.NET>]

I am taking some students in my sixth, seventh, and eighth grade book clubs for a 
tour of a mosque. This is related to the social studies curriculum, but I'd like 
all of the students to read fiction books related to the Islamic culture with 
Muslim characters.  We have a very homogeneous population; there are no Muslim or 
Jewish students in our school, so I want to make sure the kids have adequate 
preparation for the trip.  Can you suggest any titles for my book clubs?  Thanks.
