Re: Easy British Lit

[Mike and Kristy <mikeandkristy@NETSCAPE.NET>]

Dear Tish,

Two of the 2001 Michael L. Printz award winners are set in England, if I'm not 
mistaken. Check out _Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging_ and my favorite, 
_Kit's Wilderness_ (which I just listened to on tape, narrated by Charles Keating & 
published by Listening Library, ISBN #0807282154).

You may want to preview them not just for location, but to make sure these 
contemporary British books are right for your audience/teachers. :-)

(See http://www.ala.org/yalsa/printz/ for the 411!)

Colleagues-

Does anyone have any suggestions for easy British literature suitable
for learning disabled readers (high school)? Some students chose Harry
Potter, but others want something on a higher level (though most of the
classics are proving to be too difficult for them).  Any suggestions
would be appreciated!
