This isn't a request for a book recommendation, but I hope it's ok as I've seen similar posts on here in the past.
I teach Language Arts in a middle school and I'd like to do a display of quotes that might make my students intrigued and want to seek out the books they're from. I'm planning to ask my students for their suggestions, but it might take a while for them to come up with any so I'd like to have a selection to get us started. If anyone has a favourite quote from a book suitable for 11-14 year olds, please let me know and I'll include it in the display.
My students particularly enjoy historical fiction, fantasy, "slice of life" realistic fiction and murder mysteries. More than 60% of them are non-native speakers of English, ranging from almost beginner level upwards, so suggestions from books that use simple language but have deeper themes and ideas would be especially appreciated, and also books that would reflect the racial, linguistic and cultural diversity in my classroom.
