I think I heard about it after I read Sold and was making connections with it. Looks like some heavy reads but also good ones!Jen Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253968450319192514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-63006892907575598082013-03-25T21:04:56.554-04:002013-03-25T21:04:56.554-04:00Great books, Melanie.

It's brief enough that it might be a good read aloud during the unit, too. Your unit sounds very cool. I've found the National Geographic lessons to be a great resource, too.

I need to look into Facing the Lion, it sounds really interesting.Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-13992778925230557162013-03-25T07:40:02.801-04:002013-03-25T07:40:02.801-04:00These all sound like amazing books. Another good ...These all sound like amazing books. Another good book for thinking about child slavery is Sold by Patricia McCormick. It is probably too mature for 6th graders because it deals with girls being sold into sex slavery, but it is another perspective. I will definitely be looking for all of the books you mentioned. I think the penguin book sounds like a great way to be able to have a less threatening conversation about personalities and change.
