Re: [ha-Safran] Looking for books for HS students- both literary and "kosher"
I subscribe to some emails from Torah.org and just received one that has this in one of them was this message, "This is a plug for the fantasy novel my son published a year ago, The Ring of Fate. It is an exciting, "can't put down" read, and has received very positive feedback since its publication. It is also completely kosher in both subject matter and language. It is available as both paperback and ebook. It is sold by Booklocker.com (http://booklocker.com/books/6519.html), as well as by Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/The-Ring-Fate-Zvi-Rosenfeld/dp/1621418561/) and all the major on-line sellers. Thank you in advance! Dovid Rosenfeld" Hope it help!

Subject: [ha-Safran] Looking for books for HS students- both literary and
"kosher"
I'm trying to put together a list of books appropriate for high school students
that are both literary (meaning suitable for a book discussion group) and
"kosher" enough for yeshiva students. The Jewish novels I am familiar with are
not very literary and the secular YA literature is rarely "kosher" enough.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
