Original Question:
A 10th grade teacher was pleased by my suggestion to use Unwind by
Schusterman and Catching Fire by Collins. She is looking for more novels
that are contemporary, thought provoking and will keep the attention of her
students. She is a leader among faculty and administration and so I don't
want to let her down.
I probably won't give her this entire list but I will make sure I have every
title.
Thanks,
Karen
