Two English teachers at our high school are just finishing up read-a-louds of the realistic fiction novel "Speak" (Laurie Halse Anderson) and want to begin another for their 9th grade classes. They wish to find something with a male protagonist this time around. Something too that is written at the same maturity level as "Speak" though not necessarily the same issue(s). Realistic but not too graphic either. I've identified "The Body of Christopher Creed" by Carol Plum-Ucci as a possibility and I'm combing lists and materials for others but would welcome suggestions. Also, a request for a humorous read-a-loud for 9th graders. The teacher and I have spoken of "Fat Kid Rules the World" by K.L. Going but too much of the language would have to be edited for a read-a-loud. Looking for suggestions here too. Many thanks!
