Our Principal is keen for us to study a Jewish novel at high school level. We have been doing "Counterfeit Lives", a holocaust novel, at Year 9 level, next year we plan to do a unit on the Holocaust and film using some current and older fiilms. At Year 12 level we have studied Eli Wiesel's "Night", so would like to get away from the Holocaust theme. It needs to be a novel that has literary merit and good characterisation and would be able to be taught by a non Jewish teacher. He suggested Lazerson's "Skullcaps and Switchblades" which I need to reread. We are a Chabad boys school, so would need to be appropriate for our students needs.
