REC'D: 2/10/00, 11:49 AM

I have a request from a teacher for bibliographies of the following
topics to use with her 9th grade English class:

Coming of Age
Friendship
Dreams and Aspirations

Does anyone have lists that could be e-mailed to me? Or perhaps, does
anyone know a
good website that would help? I need the information ASAP (of course.)
Thanks,
Sue Beck

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is considered the "quintessential"
coming of age novel by some YA people.

A few more classics:

To Kill a Mockingbird,
Catcher in the Rye
Lord of the Flies
The Outsiders

After that I recommend:
Francesca Block's Weetzie Bat books
Dicey's Song, C. Voigt
Celine, B. Cole
Slot Machine, Chris Lynch
Coffee Will Make You Black, April Sinclair
Rats Saw God, Rob Thomas
Arizona Kid, Ron Koertge
Annie on My Mind, Nancy Garden
The Skin I'm In, by Flake
Shizuko's Daughter, Kyoko Mori

Friendship:
Ironman, Chris Crutcher
Tulip Touch, Anne Fine
The Friends, Rosa Guy
The Planet of Junior Brown, Virginia Hamilton
Make Lemonade, V. Wolff
I Hadn't Meant to Tell You This, Jacqueline Woodson
and it's sequel . . . can't think of the title at the moment)
Francie, by somebody English

Hope this helps.
