[LM_NET] Kids in other cultures

[Gayle Hodur <ghodur@REDSHIFT.COM>]

We have a language arts teacher doing a project where the kids have to
check out a fiction book where the main character is someone from a
culture other than their own. I'd like to be better prepared for next year
with a list of books, new books purchased, etc.
What are your picks? Historical fiction is OK, but prefer modern day. The
purpose is to note the differences in the culture.
