Target: 8th grade book suggestions needed

["Joyce L. McMurray" <jmcmurray@EMAIL.MSN.COM>]

I need book title suggestions for our Junior High Media Specialist to give
to one of her 8th grade teachers in the following categories:    Mysteries,
survival stories, classics, biographies, or science disaster (natural) books
i.e. hurricanes, weather, etc.
The difficulty is that all these books must have a setting during Civil War
or pre-Civil War time period.  I am at a loss to know what to suggest, but
told her I would post to the list and surely someone could help us out with
a few titles.  Thanks for giving it some thought this weekend, especially if
you are a Junior High School media specialist!
