[LIT] Change through the eyes of children

[JudiBortle at aol.com]

How about Farewell to Manzanar or Journey to Topaz about the  Japanese 
Relocation Camps?  Warriors Don't Cry would be another good  one about the civil 
rights movement.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Judi

Hello,

Thank you all for you responses to my "what's flying  off of your shelves"
question.  I have just one more ...

I am  trying to put together a list of YA books with the following theme:
Change  through the eyes of children.  For example, The Diary of Ann Frank  is
about the Holcaust told by, obviously, Ann Frank.  Tree Girl is a  story
about the brutal military massacres that happened in Central America  during
the early 1980s, told from the point of view of Gabriela.  The  Watsons Go To
Birmingham is about the Civil Rights Movement and the church  bombings in
Alabama.

Can you think of  others?

Kim
