[LM_NET] TAR: MS Voluntarism Fiction

[Cathy Rettberg <crettberg@MENLOSCHOOL.ORG>]

Hello,

Our 7th graders each do an end of the year project that addresses a  
problem in the world. The students find an issue they are interested  
in, research the problem, and think of local and global ways to  
address the problem. Typical topics include hunger, homelessness,  
poverty, poor education, lack of access to water, animal abuse, global  
warming, etc.  The teachers are looking for a book for the kids to  
read as an introduction to this service learning project. Any ideas?  
Hiassen's books have been around long enough that the kids have read  
them, but that that's the style of book we're looking for - something  
with young people trying to make a difference.

Thanks,

Cathy
