[CASL-L] book recommendation

[Musket, Kimberly]

Good morning,

We are looking for suggestions for a whole class read for eighth grade.

It's in a unit entitled Not That Different with the essential question -
How does “othering” affect individuals and humanity in general? What does
the way a person treats others reveal about them?  In this unit, students
explore the phenomenon of othering, or treating someone as if they don’t
fit into the norm.

Ideally, we would like a book on the shorter side. It should also be a
fiction book.

We are considering *Starfish *by Lisa Fipps.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you
Kim
