How about Farewell to Manzanar or Journey to Topaz about the Japanese Relocation Camps? Warriors Don't Cry would be another good one about the civil rights movement. Hope this helps, Judi In a message dated 1/21/2007 4:22:02 P.M. Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
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?
