Speaking of Born a Crime, there is a new young readers' edition (middle school-ish), for kids whose reading level isn't quite equal to the original.  I just picked up an ARC at ALA, so I don't know what might be left out or reworded.  And I second the suggestion of Nutmeg nominees, of course.

Perhaps consider a Nutmeg Award book? Could be a 2020 selection once those are made known to librarians in the next few weeks.

 

Other ideas:

The 57 Bus

Born a Crime

Dread Nation

The Poet X

Subject: [CASL-L] all school read

 

Please excuse the cross posting.

My school is looking to change the summer reading this year to an all school read. They would like it to be a topic that all classes, math, English, Science, Social Studies, World Language and Theology can all discuss on some level. It can be fiction or non-fiction.

I welcome any and all suggestions.

Thanks,
