[LM_NET] Target:book for 8th grade book group with migration or immigration theme

[Helen Dittmer <hdittme@IX.NETCOM.COM>]

Hi Everyone,
When I run into a problem I always turn to you so here goes. At our 
school we have 8th grade literature circles and I have been reading 
GLORY FIELD b y Walter Dean Myers for many years.  It is now time to 
move  on and I can't think of a book that has all the characteristics 
we need.  We want to talk about minorities, we want to talk about 
immigration or migration and we want the students to be enthralled.  Do 
you have any suggestions?  Thank you much in advance for all the help I 
always get from you.
