MID: Looking for a book

[Diane Norby <DNorby@HOPKINTON.K12.MA.US>]

Greetings,
=20
I have been asked to recommend a novel with a lower reading level to =
round out the offerings for a literature circle with the theme of "a =
changing world" to be conducted in 8th grade next year. The other novels =
it will accompany are: ATree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith,  Cold =
Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns, (the higher level ones) and Nothing to =
Fear by Jackie French Koller. It should appeal to the reluctant reader, =
especially boys, and should be set in that same time period.

Does such a book exist?=20

Thank you for your help. I'll post a hit with any replies I receive.
