Some of the other responses have included authors who are actually American.  And The Whale Rider is from New Zealand, not Australia.  Maori is quite different from Australian Aboriginal.  My doctoral dissertation, in progress, is on Aussie YA lit.

 Good morning!  My
 12th grade English teachers are starting a unit in May -
 they will be giving the students free choice to choose a
 novel written by a non-American/non-British authors.

 I have a list going already - but it looks a
 little...boring!
 Can anyone send me some great fiction that fits
 the author category?  Basically any author who isn't
 American or British!

 Thank you!
