[LM_NET] Target (HS) : suggestions needed for novel for 10th grade class

[Kathleen Hass <khass@M3ISP.COM>]

I have a 10th grade English teacher looking  for a novel for class study.  She 
would prefer a fairly contemporary novel set in the Middle East and by a Middle 
Eastern author.  The "Kite Runner" is already used in AP classes, so she would like 
an author besides Hosseini.  Failing  this, she is willing to look at contemporary 
fiction by international authors from other areas of the world.  We have come up 
with some books by authors such as Julia Alvarez (Dominican Republic settings, not 
Middle Eastern) and the Persepolis graphic biography.  Normally I have little 
trouble with these requests, but my mind has gone blank on this one.  Any ideas out 
there that  can give her?  What are your teachers using?  Thank you in advance.  I 
will post a list of responses.
