[CALIBK12] Need 9th Grade Read-Aloud Title

[Darla Brown]

Hi Jim: I'd recommend Emako Blue by Brenda Woods (personal responses to gang violence, told in a short narrative form) or Bronx Masquerade by Nikki Grimes (high school class writes poetry; different points of view, contains the students' poetry-great read-aloud) to Kathleen. Good luck!

I am posting this message for my colleague from Palm Springs High School:

I have a grade nine teacher requesting a recommendation for a title that he could read aloud to his 9th gr. CP classes that will "grab their attention and keep them hooked."
Thank you.

With a flip of the wrist they can hide your dissertation behind piles of old Field and Stream magazines.  They can find data for your term paper that you never knew existed...Librarians rule." --Erica Olsen
