Author: Stephen Chbosky
Why Selected: Required read, challenge books
Literary Merit: A letter writing story about a freshman trying to fit in with a clique of seniors. Explicit language and other situations that might not sit well with parents. But it is well written and compelling. I consider this the use of one groups problems being symbolic of an entire high school. The letter writing approach makes you think a little more.
Share: This is one that is probably a suggested read for a mature individual. And maybe something that would make a reluctant reader want to read more.
Appeal: High School kids
Awards: None
