[LM_NET] HIT>boys/african american girls as central characters

[Margaret Hollar <margaret.hollar@CMS.K12.NC.US>]

Thank you for the suggestions I got for boys as central characters in humorous 
books; I did not receive any responses for African American girls in humorous 
books. Here is what was sent; I knew some of these already, but needed a gentle 
reminder.

Hank Zipzer by Henry Winkler
anything by Jack Gantos
Marvin Redpost by Sachar
Martin Bridges
Time Warp Trio series- Jon Scieszka
Jake Drake series - Andrew Clements

Thanks again. Maybe we need to write a funny book with an African American central 
character?
