Target: MIddle (7/8) Asian novels for boys

[Trish Feld <trishfeld@angelfire.com>]

A teacher is looking for a novel for middle ability 7-8 grade boys with a setting 
in Asia.
We have lots of stuff with girls as the heroine but in the guy department, we have 
"Iron and Silk" (for strong readers), "The Friends" and "The Kite Fighters" for the 
lower readers.  What he is looking for is the equivalent of "Things Fall Apart" set 
in Asia.  Any ideas ?
Naturally, time is of the essence!!
thanks
