Shalom!
I'm doing a summer book group with a theme of Jewish children in survival mode after immigrating to another country. Book choices so far are: King of Mulberry Street, by Donna Jo Napoli Shanghai Shadows, by Lois Ruby Night of the Burning, by Linda Wulf The Return, by Sonia Levitin I'd like to come up with another one which might attract boys. I looked through the bibliography bank but nothing jumped out at me. Any ideas? I'm encouraging middle school aged children at our synagogue and another to read one of the books or however many of them they want before we meet. The books all have some common elements: leaving their home countries due to discrimination and hatred, feeling they must or actually having to look after themselves, being faced with culture shock. I look forward to some great discussions!
