She also includes discussion questions, etc on her site for classroom use! Here is the link to her books: http://sharondraper.com/books.asp
I had a class with low level reading (and as a result, a strong dislike for reading). These books saved us and totally transformed their love for reading!! They were begging for more! They kept kids engaged, participating, and because they were only about 150pgs (?), they didn't feel bogged down by a book they felt they could never finish. I definitely recommend these books!

I absolutely loved The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henríquez. It definitely falls between the gray area of young adult/fiction. It deals with the hardships that immigrants in the US, particularly from South America (legal or illegal) face on a daily basis. I think that this a rather important read considering the way things are today.
That being said, I could not put the book down once I started reading it. The book has multiple first person POVs. They all have their own stories, but their stories also tie into the other stories in the book. This is what made it really addicting for me, and I finished the book in one sitting.
