... --> (Of course you put the word inside). And for the author, you would put doubles. Like so: (Word inside). "Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson". TaaaDAAA!! Also, sometimes, the TOUCHSTONES (the finished product) don't comply. It's a glitch they're working on. ALSO ALSO, ...

Currently reading: - Distant Waves by Suzanne Weyn. - Girlwood by Claire Dean. Recently Read: - Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. :)

... I keep checking back. Okay, I don't read those series any more. XD Okay here goes a new one: - I like the triolgy, Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. - I still love the "Dear America" series by various authors. I really haven't read that many series lately- I am busied with ...

I also recommend Island of the blue dolphins, but I love love loved Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. Oops, I have to go off the computer. :) More soon!

... can't tell you how many of Laurie Halse Anderson's books I've read. There's YA, picture books, series, etc. I JUST finished Chains. It's a trilogy. I recommend this author greatly to all kinds of people/families! :)

LOL! Okay, I really want to read Chains by (guess) Laurie Halse Anderson. Here's the description: In 1776, Isabel is a young slave (about 11?). She and her little sister, Ruth, live in Rhode Island and Isabel dreams of the day they will be free. Their master, Miss Finch, has promised ...

... good things: The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing by M. T. Anderson What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell Chains and Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson Walter Dean Meyers has written numerous books set in different historical periods. For fun, girlie, romantic ...

I enjoyed Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. It's YA, takes place mostly in NYC during the year 1776. You might find it in the Children's section of the bookstore, but thematically I think it belongs in the YA section and it also should have great crossover appeal for adults.

#140, #143 I loved both these books too. #138 I have her Chains out from the library now, it gets good reviews.

I'll second Chains; it's a very good book. Ann Rinaldi has also written a lot of good young adult historical fiction that I enjoyed when I was your age.

How about Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. It is about a girl who is enslaved during the American Revolution. Should be entirely appropriate and interesting for an 8th grader.

44. Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson The year is 1776. Isabel's owner, Miss Finch, has died. She left a will freeing Isabel and her sister Ruth, but Miss Finch's nephew is in a hurry and the lawyer is in Boston -- unreachable given the current unrest. He sells the girls to a couple who live ...

... than a few pages at a time, so I'm thinking of mixing it up with an easier, to-be-determined book. Maybe Watchmen or Chains.

Oh! and I havent read Speak, but I have read Chains, by the same author...
