Hi Amy,
We are starting our with Prey by Michael Crichton (this is on our state
reading list this year) and the few who did not want to read that asked for
A great and terrible beauty. I really wanted to do secret life of bees but
couldn't sell it. I'd also like to do Kite Runner but we interlibrary loan
our books for the club and there aren't enough copies of that. Good luck
with your meeting.

Here are some suggestions that might appeal to both boys and girls at the
high school level with the possibility for some good discussion:
House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
Whaletalk by Chris Crutcher
Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World by Jennifer Armstrong
The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman
Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser

My girls have absolutely-- cannot keep it on my shelves-- loved Speak by
Laurie Halse Andrrson. It deals with date rape, and so might be
controversial, but I think the subject is handled in a sensitive way.
