[LM_NET] Target: Need Fiction Title for 7th Grade

[Sarah Woo <sarahwoo@DANVERS.ORG>]

Hello All,

Our 7th grade students all read /Dragonwings /right now but we are 
looking for something new, as that title hasn't been engaging them very 
well in the last few years.

We would love to find something that is related to their work in 
geography. They study most of the countries in the world (except for the 
U.S. and Central America), so if there is something set in one or more 
foreign countries, that might work.

But mostly what we're looking for is a well-written book with good 
character development, suitable for 7th grade in terms of accessibility, 
along with being engaging so that they are able to write and/or talk 
about events, characters, plot, conflict, and theme. A tall order, I 
know, but I'm hoping some of you have the perfect, tried and true novel 
for this age group.

Thanks for any suggestions you can give me.
