Our freshmen classes are reading Unwind by Neal Shusterman as their
novel....the themes are global and still relevent in today's world, even
though this is futuristic novel, quick like Barbara's suggestion,
Adoration of Jenna Fox, which is also another excellent novel.

Silence of the Songbirds by Bridget Stutchbury (Nonfiction)
The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson (Fiction; near future,
but discusses issues in biotechnology and medical ethnics)
"Books have three of the deadliest foes
on this Earth:
fire, water, and ignorant men...
...books are the finest treasures of all.
You need only feast once with your eyes
and your heart.
And you'll be full with their wisdom
forever." (Melanie Little, The Apprentice's Masterpiece)
