HIT:Middle East Novel

[Linda Stephenson <LindaS@CLINTON.K12.MO.US>]

Dear LM_NETTers--You are great!  It is so nice to be able
to post a question and get answers so quickly from library
folk from all over the country.  Thank you so much!

I had a request to post a HIT on my request for a Middle
East novel to be used at the high school level.  Here are
your suggestions:
"Shabanu: daughter of the wind" by Suzanne Fisher Staples -
5 suggested this one

"Haveli" - sequel to "Shabanu" - by Suzanne Fisher Staples -
 2

"Habibi" by Naomi Shihab Nye - 2

"Caravans" by James Michener - 1

"Princess: True story of life behind the veil in Saudi
Arabia" by Jean Sasson - 1

"Cracking India" by Bapsi Sidhwa - 1

"Homeless Bird" by Gloria Whelan - 1

"Under the Domin Tree" by Gela Almagor - 1

"Samir and Yonatan" by Daniella Carma, translated from
Hebrew - 1

Plus, I was referred to "World Lit for YAs" workshop
materials & bibliography presented by Dr. Janice Antczak,
Brookdale Community College, Linwood, NJ at a conference
attended by a media specialist.

Thanks again for your help.
