Edit: The book What is the What is an excellent read as well
Here are a couple books I think are pretty good:
What is the What by David Eggers
Season of Migration to the North by Tayeb Salih
I change up the books on the non-fiction list every year and this one is no longer on the list. It's a good one though: here's a link to it on Amazon.
Students may enjoy looking into Dave Eggers' work. He's written another book I've considered putting on the non-fiction project list, Zeitoun, a wonderful fictionalized work of true events called What is the What, and he is the editor and founder of McSweeney's, which has spawned the cool sport's writing quarterly Grantland and a sister literary magazine, The Believer.
I have a lot of bookshelves
Oh, and as for recommendations I would highly recommend What is the What by Dave Eggers. I finished reading that recently and it was excellent. It was sad and funny and insightful.

edit: If I win can I have The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls I think my daughter might like reading this. It's not on my wishlist but my e-mail address is.
Dave Eggers' novel What Is The What is a fictionalized memoir about Valentino Achak Deng, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. It's really beautifully written and very powerful.
