[ISLMA-Share] book recommendation needed

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Might some of the classics - *Little Women*, *Anne of Green Gables, Rebecca
of Sunnybrook Farm, Mansfield Park, The Wind in the Willows, Heidi* - work?
Also, *Tuck Everlasting*, *Mr. Popper's Penguins, Adam of the Road.* I
would also see what her nonfiction interests are - science, history,
crafting - and see if there were appropriate titles that would help her
escape.

Good luck - such a sad task...
