[LM_NET] TARGET: Best YA books to add to the English curriculum

["Ulric, Karen" <KUlric@SSDSEU.ORG>]

I've been slowly working on convincing the head of the English
department that there are YA books that are curriculum worthy - I've
made some progress on getting books such as "The Book Thief" added to
the summer reading options.

 

I'd really appreciate it if the collective brain could suggest books I
could suggest as summer reading additions, or actually adding to the
curriculum.

 

So -  YA lit with themes to be discussed, and really well-written.  Due
to budget constraints I have not been able to order a lot of fiction
this year, and am feeling a little out of touch with what is new and
exciting - I haven't gotten to read a lot myself lately!

 

I'll be glad to post a hit.

 

Thanks,
