Hi, A student in an 8th grade accelerated English class and her mother do not want her to read Call of the Wild. She is very sensitive to violence against animals. The teacher is asking for suggestions for a substitute book that is at least 9th grade reading level but not too long, familiar to her, and deals with the theme of adaptation for survival in order to have a parallel assignment. Swiss Family Robinson? OK, I suggested No Dead Dogs by Gordon Korman but only cynically. Any suggestions would be very helpful, Sara J * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Sara Kelly Johns AASL 2007-08 President Associate Editor for AASL Community, Knowledge Quest Lake Placid Middle/High School LMC 34 School Street Lake Placid, NY 12946 518-523-2474, ext. 4132 FAX: 518-523-4861 johns@northnet.org SaraKJohns@aol.com <http://fromtheinsideout.blogspace.com> "Information is the currency of democracy." -- Thomas Jefferson -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
