I have a patron who is working on a multicultural reading list
for a class. It could include both fiction and nonfiction such as
biographies. They need to bee on a 10th to 12th grade
reading level if possible.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I would recommend:
Jamaica Kincaid
Chinua Achebe
Amy Tan
Pearl Buck.
Hope these suggestions are useful.

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!
