  Hi,
  I'd like to hear which novel other 5 point teachers use.  We've taught The 
  Wave for the past 3 years, but we're thinking of switching books since it 
  isn't very challenging, and many of the students have already read it in 
  Hebrew.  We're looking for a book whose theme is relevant to the students.  
  I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
  Thanks,
  Sharon
