No Easy Way Out by Dayna Lorentz
7th-9th grade reading level
I would read this to middle schoolers and maybe fifth graders. It demonstrates good writing through sentence fluency, word choice, and conventions, as well as organization, ideas, and voice as the main character takes it upon herself to help solve part of a larger problem. The excerpt flows easily, and the imagery that comes to mind is clear.
