[LM_NET] JFK book suggestions

[MaryJane Waite <waitem@FRANKLIN.K12.MA.US>]

Hi,
I am looking for book suggestions that would address this request from an
8th grade teacher that will be going to DC on a field trip...

        a novel that would be useful for teaching JFK so that kids have a better
understanding of the meaning of his grave site at Arlington, the eternal
flame, the impact of his assassination, etc. We would be looking for
something that was between 4th and 6th grade reading level just to make
sure it was accessible for all kids.

Any ideas?
Thanks
MJ
