Target: Elem/Middle Sch. - Book Suggestion Needed

[judy simms <judy.simms@MICRO.COM>]

I turn, again, to you for help.

The 8th graders in my school are reading "To Kill A Mockingbird."  The
Learning Center teacher needs a title that is somewhat like that book for
her students.  The reading level of her students range from 2nd or 3rd grade
to about 5th grade.  I tried to find an adapted edition of "To Kill A
Mocking Bird" with NO luck.  So, my other idea was a similiar book with the
theme of racial conflict / racial prejudice for those students.

I am asking for your suggestions.  Of course when I talked with her late
this afternoon, my brain was not functioning.  But, I have since thought
about some of Mildred Taylor books.  Any help you can give me will be
greatly appreciated!!

PLEASE, PLEASE reply to my email address as I have temporarily set my LM-Net
account for No Mail.

P.S.  I look forward to seeing friends at the MASL (Missouri Assoc. of
School Librarians) convention later this month.

TIA
