ii love this book even though some things were a little grooss but it was a good read coming from my daughter who is thirteen she loved it and didn't show any change in behavoior ecept for the fact that she said she is glad that she has me and her father for parents and that she doesn't feel the way tyler feels. this also shows a guy who is good/bad to go for. For example, don't go for the bad boy, but go for the boy who won't take advantage of you when you are not in the mental or physical state. Tyler is in some sort of way a good role model but just the bad behvoior. But it teaches you that you do have other options than just killing yourself. I would recomend this book but make sure to talk to your child or just think about the positive affects this book had!

amazing
This is one of the best books i have read in a long time. It is suspensful and entertaining. The main character is on probation for spray painting his school so that people would recognize him and it works out well. From there on out the book is an attention grabber and you wont want to stop reading it. I checked this book out one day at school started reading it in one class and the next got hom took a break and read it until 11 pm and finished it. I love this book and i recommened it for anyone over 14+

Well written- depicts teen struggles accurately
I'm currently reading this book with a book club of rising 9th grade students. I'll be meeting them within the hour and am curious to see what they thought. Laurie Halse Anderson is one of my favorite YA authors. I've taught middle school for the past 5 years and haven't found a more appropriate author for this age group. The protagonist, Tyler, is very well depicted. His internal conflict is convincing and targets reality. While many of the scenes are hard to admit occuring in our youth, they present strong and accurate imagery. I would suggest reading the book before allowing your children to read it, but if your child is mature, I wouldn't hesitate to let them read it. Anderson does a great job of mixing humor into the plot in order to lighten the otherwise heavy nature of the novel. I was very impressed with Tyler's struggles and how his narration leads the reader through his journey.

I really enjoyed this book! Many themes available for discussion both at home and in school, which go beyond bullying.
