This bleak, yet great, book is on the new ELA 20 curriculum. It is a "poetry novel". Full disclosure: not my favourite genre, but teens find them interesting (or at least the girls do, as the only books boys seem to enjoy are The Hunger Games and possibly Of Mice and Men). The issues here include manipulation, self-injury (cutting), and the joys (pain) of being in high school. Personally Mrs. Farr needs a punch in the head. Or something less violent. Like bad coffee.
