For my 12th grade English class for a thesis paper. It has to be about a topic, like abortion, gay rights, etc...
For example My Sister's Keeper was about stem cell research.
But not that book we just read it in English
A good interesting book, a page turner type, not a boring one
Thanks

What about Real Time by Pnina Moel Kass
REAL TIME is a novel by Pnina Moel Kass set in Israel and told by multiple narrators varying in age, gender, religion, nationality, and ethnicity. These people are brought together by a Palestinian terrorist (one of the narrators) blowing up a bus on a highway into Jerusalem. If I had to pick three main narrators--I'd pick Thomas Wanninger who is 16, German, and traveling to Israel to volunteer at a kibbutz; Vera Brodsky who is 19, Russian Jew resettled in Israel and living/working at the kibbutz; and Sameh Laham, 16 Palestinian suspected terrorist. Of course, there are at least a dozen more voices that tell the story.
The novel is an honest look at terrorism, and the reality of living in a war zone. Tells all sides of the story--including the Palestinian view on why it is a GREAT thing to be a suicide bomber.
Anyway, I thought this novel is very UNIQUE. I haven't come across many novels set in the Middle East that discuss terrorism, threat of war....etc....
Or Sold by Patricia McCormick set in India and discusses young girls sold into prostitution by their families.

Fiction or non?
How about "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold.
Fiction about a girl that was murdered, what happened to her and her family. Told from her point of view in heaven.
