Moloka'i by Alan Brennert

Interest Level: Adult
Reading Level: NR
Lexile: NR
Genre: Historical Fiction

 In 1819 Rachel Kalama comes down with leprosy. She is seven years old. Taken away from her family and everything she knows, she is set to Kalaupapa, the leper colony on the island of Moloka'i. This book follows Rachel as she finds a new family in this unlikely place. Vivid scenery and character touch the reader. This book is NOT appropriate for middle school students but I highly recommend it to adults.
