A Single ShardText by Linda Sue Park is an excellent reading material for middle school students. This would be a good introduction to discuss ceramic ware from Asian countries or to discuss medieval Asia. This book is about an orphan boy who becomes an apprendice to a famous Korean celadon glaze potter who is given a mission to travel many miles to present his mater's work at a national contest. As he travels, he goes through several legendary geographical sites/monuments in korea, facing many adventures.

This is a very fun book. If you have SSR at your school, you should definitely recommend this book to your students. This is written at grade level 5-8.
