Re: novels in Spanish

[Susan Baker <bakesus@easystreet.com>]

A relatively unnoticed book by Gary Paulsen is one of my favorites.  
It's called SISTERS/HERMANAS and tells two stories of two very different 
girls.  One is a blond cheerleader candidate California Valley-girl, and 
the other is an illegal immigrant working the streets so she can send 
money back home.  Read it in English and/or turn in upside down and 
backwards to read the same story in Spanish.

> Does anyone have a suggestion for a YA novel in Spanish?  Every year I have more and more students for whom Spanish is their native language.  A lot of the research I have read is that reading in the mother tongue will help them increase their reading/comprehension and English skills.  I can read Spanish myself and want to read a couple this summer so the books are available for my kids in the fall.  Thanks for your suggestions.
