What a wonderful group of folks you are!  Thank you for your many
suggestions.  Some titles I had completely forgotten!  Here is the list
in no particular order and only by title.  The True confessions of
Charlotte Doyle got the most listings with The Homecoming and Diceys Song
second.  Right now, teachers at my school are reading The Homecoming and
Blue Heron as possiblilties.  I hope to get at least two more titles to
them soon.

Rinaldi, McCaffrey, Marian Zimmer Bradley, O'Dell
