[CASL-L] book recommendations

[Cathy Andronik]

 One good recent nonfiction book that is not a biography and doesn't feature war is  Race to the Bottom of the Earth:  Surviving Antarctica by Rebecca Barone.  Very guy-centric, though.

 Hello-
I am looking for recommendations for the following. I have many titles already but I'm hoping for new suggestions.    
   - books with characters giving, caring, showing compassion and empathy towards others - grades 6-8
   - narrative nonfiction books  (not biographies/memoirs) for 8th grade - looking for books that are happy, positive (no tragedies, wars, etc.)
I created a google doc in case others might be interested in the lists. If you have a suggestion, would you please add it to this document? If it's easier, feel free to just reply to this email. 
If you need to add a line, click in the cell, on the right, of the last row and press the tab key. 
Thank you so much!Kim
