Re: MIDDLE: Rumble Fish - others like it? (fwd)

[Floyd Pentlin <fpentlin@GARFIELD.LEESUMMIT.K12.MO.US>]

Ester's discussion of other titles similar to Rumble Fish brings up the
fact that one of our teachers is using THE OUTSIDERS in a class.  She
wanted to show the videotape as a follow-up but it is "R" rated.  She
wanted to use a related them video and tried WEST SIDE STORY -- not a
popular choice with these low level kids.

Other suggestions?

In addition to Rumble Fish, there's Hinton's Outsiders, That was Then,
and Taming the Star Runner (really liked the last).  Also, try Bunting's
Someone is hiding on Alcatraz Island.  Books by Miklowitz, Avi.
