Middle school teachers- need some help
I am going back to work next week after being out on maternity leave for 14 weeks. 
I'm going to do a unit on social issues and I want to find a few stories (or parts of novels) about social problems- drugs, child abuse, homelessness, etc. I'm drawing a blank at the moment- can anyone suggest some titles?
Thanks.

Re: Middle school teachers- need some help
if you want to do something about mental illness, you could use "Flowers for Algernon"
The novel Speak could also be good.

Maniac Magee has some of the issues you mentioned.
