What are some good African American books for 7th graders?

They don't have to be African American books. You could just find out what she is interested in and find books in that area for her reading level. I found that this way works better because the student wants to learn more about what they like.

Yes. I taught the novel for several years in high school English (10th grade). Read it. You will love it!!! It is an amazing story of a young boy coming of age in the South at the turn of the 20th Century in a small town called Cold Sassy. Bigotry, prejudice, love, acceptance, and fulfillment are among its themes. I highly recommend it to you.

Check with each state's website- many of them offer free maps and info about their state.  Also check the department of education; they have publications that are fabulous pieces of information for parents about the importance of reading to your child, how to help with homework, etc.\n\nSometimes Costco has backpacks loaded with goodies for students; our school got them last year for our entire student body!

Ella Enchanted (my favorite book of ALL TIME!!) If your 15 you should like the 'Princess Diares' seris by Meg Cabot, those are really good. as well as 'Size 12 is not fat' (By Meg Cabot) It's a murder mystery. umm 'The secret life of bees' by Sue Monk Kidd is pretty good, it's about life in the 60's. If you like greek myths than the 'Myth~O~Mania' books by Kate McMullan, are pretty good, there the 'real' myths told her way. Very Funny. If you like Adventur i would suggest the Alex Rider seris (first one is called 'Stormbreaker' by Anthoney Ho...something)

SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS!!!!!!! BY ANNE BRASHERS \nGOSSIP GIRLS ARE good too.  But all 14 yr old girls must read sisterhood of the traaveling pants.  The book is even better than the movie.

Hatchet, The River, Where the Red Fern Grows, Harry Potter, White Fang, The Indian in the Cupboard, A Wrinkle In Time (there are several books in the series), The Janitor's Boy, Gold Dust, Tuck Everlasting (yes, boys like it too. They like the book better than the movie.) The Time Bike, From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil Frankweiler, The Fighting Ground,Call me Francis Tucket. If he's a good reader, try The Westing Game, The Giver, or Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. These are all more advanced. If he is in Gr. 7 and a good reader, these will be doable.\n\nThis should get you started. CHeck with the school librarian or the public library. Happy reading!

any SAT books ("Tooth and Nail" if you like mystery.) . they have big SAT words included in the story and a glossary in the back. its a lot better than just trying to memorize silly words you'll never use.\n:-)
