Well, I originally started with a book called Borderlands. It tells the story of an immigrant family dealing with issues such as language and culture shock when coming across the border. This book is good, but I'm not sure I'd want to teach it in my class due to the fact that I, myself, sometimes have a hard time understanding what's happening in the book.
In light of this, I chose to go with a very popular book, Jesse, by Gary Soto. To be honest, I don't know much about the book aside from the stray comments that it's well written and that it's easy to relate to teens. So I'm interested to get into it and I'll be ready to report more when I read up!
