MID: Fantasy title needed for gifted 6th graders

[Linda Locker <Locker@INSIGHT.RR.COM>]

I'm looking for a good fantasy title for my gifted language arts teacher to
use with 6th graders.  It must have lots of descriptive language and
imagery.  She wants something that is not "high fantasy."  Something like
Tuck Everlasting that the students can relate to in their own lives.  I've
gone through all of my fantasies and nothing seems to fit the bill!!  The
reading level should be sixth grade or above and not extremely long.

If anyone could help, I would really appreciate your suggestions.  If I get
many responses I will post a HIT.

TIA,
