Hi Esther, When I was librarian of the Ramaz Middle School, I recommended to in 7th or 8th graders the book, Having Our Say: The Delaney Sisters First 100 Years by the Delaney sisters and Amy Hill Hearth. It is the true story of two African-American sisters whose parents were slaves. They moved to NY and one became a doctor and one a dentist. Both lived to become 100 years old. It is a nice story and accessible to young adults. I also recommended Agathe Christie for mystery lovers. There are many adult books that are appropriate for this age group. Thanks for being the best librarian for all my grandchildren at RYNJ! Noreen Wachs Retired Librarian from the Ramaz Middle School
