I am working in school with a HOST (Help Our Students Suceed) program where I've worked with a 4th grade black male student for 3 semesters. I'm trying to keep him interested in reading but I can't find any fiction with minority characters. Could someone suggest a site or author(s)?
thanks

Hostman check out The Grits.com as Marlive has an excellent site for childrens books.
