I don't have a lot of experience with intellectual disabilities so this was good for me. It's from the POV of 2 girls. Both have disabilities of varying degrees. Definitely pulled on my emotions.
For the most part I liked this book and the characters. The story was intriguing and I thought it was well written. One of the problems I had with this book was that it contains little blurbs from Sam that show up with no warning; I think they were supposed to add dimension to the story but they wer...

Sunny's family has had a difficult time since Jazz's death-- her father is drinking more and her mother can barely get out of be...
This book was ok.It is about guy named Kyle who blamed his brother David's suicide on girl named Cass McBride. Cass McBride turned David down when he asked her out. That wasn't all. She also wrote a nasty mean note about him to her friend which he found. Then he hung himself. Kyle who is in extreme ...
This one is a bit weird for me. The story line was good, the writing was good, Kip/Wade was an interesting character with moments of being pretty awesome. Institutionalised at 9 after setting his neighbour on fire, he did not act or talk like a child throughout the entire book - but that felt right....

Über Walkie-Talkie steht sie mit ihrem Kidnapper in Verbindung. Kann sie ihn von ihrer Unschuld überzeugen? Ein gnadenloser Wettlau...
Well, it's close to fantastic. On one hand, the description of a family coming apart at the seams, and a teenage girl being lured into an emotionally and potentially physically abusive relationship with a predator are, for the most part, gripping and realistically written. The main character, Ames, ...
Sunn's sister is dead. The apartment she lived in caught on fired and burned to the ground. No one had heard from her sister, Jazz, and so she was presumed dead. Things haven't been good for the Reynolds family since Jazz's death. Their father is drinking way than ever and their mother had a breakdo...
Normally, I don't read a lot of non-fiction, but I'm sure glad I did in this case. Ellen Hopkins did a fantastic job of editing this collection of essays from multiple points of view. Several authors, including Gail Giles, weigh in on different aspects of the issues involved in CRANK and GLASS. El...
The characters are unlikable, but the plot is a winner, well-planned with psychological twists and turns driving the story. A claustrophobic, psychological thriller with plenty of family drama. I read it one sitting, so should you.
