book recommendations

[Helen Dittmer <hdittme@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi everyone, I'm coming to you once again needing some book
suggestions.  My son is being asked to read novels about students who
suffer some disability.  The books that come to mind are FLOWERS FOR
ALGERNON, OF MICE AND MEN and DIBS.  These are too obvious and so the
teacher is asking for titles other than these, titles that are well
written and emotionally powerful.  Do you have any suggestions?
(college level or senior high school level please.)  Thank you in
advance, from Helen Dittmer , Redwood Day School librarian, Oakland, CA
