Say of Tears is about slavery, Fade to Black is a very compelling novel on the impact of HIV/AIDS in America, Twilight Saga, My Sisters Keeper- higher level but excellent story. These are just a few books that my students have enjoyed!

<i>Tangerine</i> has been used by our self contained teacher who has has had tremendous success with the text. <i>Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie</i> is a high interest novel, too, that the kids really enjoy.

My no-fail favorites right now are <u>Homeboyz</u> and <u>Hip-Hop High School</u>, both by Lawrence Sitomer, as well as Sonnenblick's D<u>rums and Girls and Dangerous Pie</u> and <u>Notes from the Midnight Driver</u>.<br />
<br />
For girls, <u>Lovely Bones</u> never disappoints, either. I buy 6-7 copies at the beginning of every year, knowing full well they'll be read to shreds before the end of the year.

Linda, check out the book <i>The Ultimate Teen Book Guide</i> by Daniel Hahn. (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/080279730X/ref=nosim/librarythin08-20" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/080279730X/ref=nosim/library...</a>). I wish I had it with me, but it is at school, of course. It does the usual "If you like this, you might like this", but it has more interesting lists like "books for when you feel like crying", "books for when you feel emo", and so on.…

Whenever I have it on my desk, I always have a student or two who will browse through it all period if I let them.<br />
