Zeitoun by Dave Eggers

A good book to introduce adolescents to social injustice and begin to ask questions -
To arrive in New Orleans shortly after Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005 was to witness what Haiti would look like if they built skyscrapers on top of the earthquake rubble – a mirage of wealth, power and order towering over a fairly well-veiled reality of poverty, helplessness and chaos.

Not a book for the "faint of heart", but something to discuss, consider and react.  Shocking!
