>> Good morning everyone!
>>
>> The 8th grade LA teachers came to me yesterday with a request. They are
>> starting a new unit on narrative non-fiction and would like a list of books.
>> At first I thought of The Port Chicago 50 and Left for Dead, but they
>> mentioned it needs to have strong characters. They mentioned the book A
>> Long Walk to Water, but that is not classified as NF, although it is based
>> on a true story. They also mentioned Night by Elie Wiesel, which is a
>> memoir, and they just finished a unit on memoirs.
>>
>> So, any ideas? Either NF books with strong narrative characters or
>> fiction based on true stories with main characters?
>>
>> Thanks in advance!
