Teen nonfiction awakens inner reader
A few weeks ago a recent high school graduate came to the Teen Department looking for true books about things that she is currently dealing with or has dealt with. (Pretty weighty things like drug abuse, foster care, self harm, child abuse, etc.) I recommended Hannah by Hannah Westberg and a few other titles. Today, she came back. When I asked her how she liked the books, she told me she loved the books so much that she read Hannah 3 times in a row. She said, "I haven't been into books since the 6th grade, but my mom had to keep telling me to get my head out of these books. Now, I need more!"
