<p class="MsoNormal">I need help finding a book similar in theme and point of view to Of Mice and Men. The 7<sup>th</sup>/8<sup>th</sup> grade class is reading this book and the teacher has requested a book for low level readers, reading at a 4<sup>th</sup>
grade level. Or is there a graphic novel version? Thanks for any recommendations.<o:p></o:p></p>
