Subject: Target:   Titles for Middle Schooler trying to fit in

A teacher finally came to ask for my advice.   A friend wants book for her daughter 
who is struggling to fit into middle school.  She's looking for books that will 
deal with themes of tolerance,  getting along,  girlfriends, relationships,  etc.   
That is also interesting to a 6th or 7th grader.

I know you, collectively, are the best resource out there so I would really 
appreciate it if you could e-mail me suggestions a.s.a.p ,  privately,  so I can 
wow my colleague.  And give credit where it is due!!!

Thanks so much!
