LIT: need "Life Lessons" title suggestions

[Alice Yucht <aliceinfo@USA.NET>]

Help!!

An 8th grade Rdg/Language Arts teacher needs =

additional titles to use for her =

"Decisions & Consequences" unit.
Specifically, she's looking for Fiction =

(and some Biogs or NF) where the protagonist =

(preferably a YA) has a 'life lesson' that =

alters his way of thinking about himself.
We need reading levels of grade 6-10, and =

do NOT want any books about the Holocaust.

I've explored most of the standard sources =

(YA Reader's Adviser, MiddlePlots, Best Books, =

etc.), but I'm drawing a blank on possible =

subject headings to use as search terms.

Anyone with recent titles to suggest for this =

unit, please email me at aliceinfo@usa.net.   =

Of course, the teacher JUST came to me, =

although she needs the booklist to hand out =

to her students next Tuesday.

Many, Many TIA!
