Favorite YA boks
Feb 18 2007, 9:54 PM EST The elementary school I work at has gradually been expanding into a K-8. We have ordered many new YA titles to increase our 6-8 selections. I grab a few to read on weekends. I have gone from shocked, dismayed to thrilled at the subject matter. I am used to children's books...what a sheltered life! I have recently thoroughly enjoyed: Ask Me No Questions by Marina Budhos which tells of a family that left Bangladesh for New York, stay even after their visas expire and fall victim to circumstances after 9/11 changes their world. The Sacrifice by Kathleen Benner Duble which tells of 10 & 12 year old sisters living in Andover, Mass. in 1692 who are accused of being witches and how their mother desperately seeks their release. (Author has traced this back in her own family.) Both of these books are very well written...I can hardly wait to recommend them to our students. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
