[LM_NET] Target ->8th grade book

[Aileen Kay <Aileen.Kay@SMAA.ORG>]

Dear Wise Ones,

Our 8th grade is looking for a novel - pre-American Revolution colonial
period from Jamestown to early 1700s - that will not bring the wrath of
our parents down on our heads.  I just read A Mercy/Toni Morrison - a
good read, but too steamy for us.  Can you please recommend a title that
would accurately and interestingly provide an experience of the period,
sans the steam, at the YA level?  Has anyone read Dark Enough to See the
Stars in a Jamestown Sky/Connie Lapallo?

Thanks so much for your great ideas!  If there's interest, I'll post a
hit.
