The first novel, is The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread, by Don Robertson (http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/the-greatest-thing-since-sliced/9780061452963-item.html?ikwid=the+greatest+thing+since+sliced+bread&ikwsec=Home&gcs_requestid=0CMjmvpbwir0CFYnx5wodsUwAAA). It is another coming of age type story, which will allow us to prepare a proper argumentative essay where students are able to draw from 4 different characters from 4 different books.
The second book is Malcom Gladwell's The Outliers (http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/outliers-the-story-of-success/9780316017930-item.html?ikwid=the+outliers&ikwsec=Home&gcs_requestid=0CLiCgYvyir0CFYnx5wodsUwAAA). You will be able to contrast yourselves and the novel characters against some of the issues raised in Gladwell's book.
