Pretty sure I read these two in 8th grade.
The Pearl is fantastic and I feel sorry for my 8th grade self, because he probably didn't appreciate it. I would have kept this copy, but that same 8th grade self left a flipbook drawing in the margin. A stick figure dies at the end and that's where the red pen kicks in. (Any parallels to the narrative are probably coincidental.)
To Be a Slave is a collection of non-fictional first-hand accounts of American slavery. Not an easy read.
