historical fiction

[Judy Ann Brough <jbrough@tenet.edu>]

My daughter needs some suggestions for a book to read for her 12th grade
economics class.  She enjoyed 1984, Murder at the Margin, and The Fatal
Equilibrium all by Marshall Jevons.

She is required to choose a book which mentions the economic happenings
within the timespan of the book.  It could be a historical period such as
the Great Depression or the Roaring 20s.

She has never really enjoyed reading; so the fact that she liked the
Jevons required reading is encouraging.  Your suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.  Fiction would be preferred, but do send a
nonfiction if you highly recommend it.
