Asian Novels

I recently ordered some books by Asian authors or with an Asian perspective suitable for Grades 7-10:

Global Tales - Selected and edited by Beverley Naidoo, Chris Donovan and Alun Hicks
Everything Asian - Sung J. Wo
Yell-Oh Girls - Vickie Nam
Children of the River - Linda Cre
A Singing Bird will Come - Karmel Schreyer
The Missing White Dragon (graphic novel) - Park, Young Ha
Eyes of the Emperor - Graham Salisbury

But here is a great post from Dianne McKenzie via Oztl_net:

It is an exciting time in Asia as new authors are breaking through and they are being loved for their own style and stories rather than the traditional "victim of oppression" stories written in the 'popular style' that have been the norm until recently. Asia is full of so many different cultures, people and stories, such an exciting place to read about and see this change.

Although intermitently slow at the time of access this site looks like a terrific resource for both fiction and non-fiction for children of all ages. There are a couple of supplier catalogues and lists of titles by subject.
