[LM_NET] TARGET; 8th grade novel

[Tracy Magin <ttmagin@YAHOO.COM>]

My 8th grade self-contained LD teacher asked me for suggestions of a novel for his 
kids to read.  I gave him several suggestions that he did not get excited about: 
Holes, On My Honor, Jasmin's Notebook, Locomotion, the Island series, and MIracle's 
Boys.  His only comment was he wanted something contemporay urban.  He has good 
kids who are not too many grade levels behind but I will assume it needs to be 
fairly short.  He has only 8 kids so I can probably find enough copies at the 
public library etc. What do  you wise middle school librarians suggest? Thanks.
