[AISLE-Share] Book Suggestions

My English teachers are looking for a book to read with their juniors that
deals with pursuing the "American Dream".  They are currently teaching The
Jungle, and both the teachers and the students are not enjoying it.  They
would like a new book by an American author that discusses the trials and
tribulations of immigrants coming to America to pursue the "American
Dream".  A huge bonus would be if the book showed the author arguing for
change.

They had considered Uncle Tom's Cabin, but they don't think it would be a
huge hit with students, and it does not involve immigrants.

I know you are a very knowledgeable group, and I was hoping for some great
suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Stephanie
