SEC: Looking for new 10th grade summer reading

[Patricia Vivari <rid22651@RIDE.RI.NET>]

Greetings!

Our Social Studies Department is looking to replace their currently
assigned summer reading titles for incoming 10th graders.  Right now,
students have the choice of _Hiroshima_ by John Hersey or _All Quiet on the
Western Front_ by Eric Remarque.  The Social Studies Department has asked
our input on replacement titles.  The requirements are:

Western Civilization/World History focus/theme
post-1450 C.E. in subject matter
Something the kids will like to read, but not too "fluffy."

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have, I'm off to look through
our reviews and collection as well!!

Patti
