[CASL-L] book recommendations??

[Williams, Linda]

Far as I can tell, the list below is EVERYTHING published on this subject by the juvenile market. I've included number of pages and any reading levels I can find, though most of the nonfiction doesn't seem to have anything. HB= the Horn Book Guide rating. ISBNs are included - many of them are out of print. Hope this helps!

Subject: [CASL-L] book recommendations??


Good morning,



I have a teacher looking for books on the Rwandan Genocide for her general level 9th grade English class.  Their reading level is very low.  None of the books that we have in our collection would be appropriate for their reading level.  Does anyone have any suggestions for books on this topic that are more of a middle/elementary school level?



Thanks =)
