Below is a compiled list of suggestions for junior high communication

it was neat one of our own had a book I could possibly use. Thanks for
all your help!
Paula

The Master Puppeteer
Fifth Chinese Daughter
Red Scarf Girl
Hinton's books
Westing game
City of the Beasts
Shadow Club
For 7th or 8th, I love The Pigman and The Giver. Specifically for
8th, I think Whirligig and Tangerine are both spectacular, if a bit
gritty.
Also, here's a page that lists what one school uses:

Finally, I'm partial to a novel I've written called _Drums, Girls &
Dangerous Pie_, which is a nominee for this year's ALA BBYA awards and a
BookSense Pick for Teens. You can check it out on my web site below.
