Does anyone know if the novel THE KEEPER by Mal Peet is appropriate for sixth grade? All I have to go on is a description from a website our librarian uses. I need a good novel with a South American setting for my class next year.
You might check Valley of Secrets, I haven't read it or used it but have seen some good reviews. I have it in my personal library ready to read. The intertwining theme is the Amazon rainforest.
Amazon.com's reviews on The Keeper say grades 8-12.
