Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse; extremely moving. Janet Smith 8th Grade Reading Conneaut Middle School; Ohio -------Original Message------- From: Kim Richard Date: 1/21/2007 3:22:29 PM To: 'A list for improving literacy with focus on middle grades.' Subject: [LIT] Change through the eyes of children Hello, Thank you all for you responses to my "what's flying off of your shelves" question. I have just one more ... I am trying to put together a list of YA books with the following theme: Change through the eyes of children. For example, The Diary of Ann Frank is about the Holcaust told by, obviously, Ann Frank. Tree Girl is a story about the brutal military massacres that happened in Central America during the early 1980s, told from the point of view of Gabriela. The Watsons Go To Birmingham is about the Civil Rights Movement and the church bombings in Alabama. Can you think of others?
