I like _The House on Mango Street_.  It's very accessible, based in Chicago, with a 14-year-old girl protagonist.  There's a lot of real life in the book, concepts that urban students, even if they're adults, can respond to.  In fact, I suppose it could be treated as a diary; what if some of the adults found this writing by their children?  How would they react?

needed


Dear All,

I'm looking for a literature book that my graduate efl students can read and
consider using for teaching. The literature has to be good enough to hold
their interest while learning how to teach writing. (The class will help
them improve their own writing while learning how to teach EFL writing)

Do you all have any suggestions?

Thanks. Tommy
