i absolutely loved where the streets had a name and would recommend it to anyone. abdel-fattah deals with the occupation in a way that's extremely humanizing and very real, though not heavy-handed or overly political. the book is written in the voice of a young girl and it's at a middle school reading level (possibly even younger), although some of the topics can get a bit emotional.
after i finished that i read accidents of nature, a book by harriet mcbryde johnson, who was a disability rights activist and lawyer. it was amazing
it's a young adult book as well, geared more towards teens, and it deals with issues of disability rights and coming of age as a disabled young person, but is set in the 70s. i could relate a lot to it. she also has a memoir, too late to die young, that's awesome too
