Title: Boot Camp

Author: Todd Strasser

Review: This is a strangely disturbing but compelling book to read as it dives into the world of teen "correction facilities", also known as Boot Camps. The main character, Garret, is kidnapped out of his room by people that are, "transporters", for the correction facility, "Harmony Lake". Throughout the book he is physically and mentally abused with no mercy from even the campers. Then, he hears of an escape plan. This is the last chance of survival for him and the, "campers" around him. I would not recommend this to those under 12 or 13 as its a very sad and despairing book....View this title in our catalog

Title: Tears of a Tiger

Author: Sharon Draper

Review: This book is so good it will make you cry. This book is about when 4 guys crashed after drinking after winning a basketball game. All the boys got out except for one his name was Robby. His best friend has to deal with the guilt of potentially killing his best friend. He goes to therapy and gets help but then he could take it no longer and decided to take his life.I recommend this book to anyone with a heart and loves to be sensitive. ...View this title in our catalog
