The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson

Excellent book.  Laurie Halse Anderson can write a story.  Post Traumatic  Stress is what Hayley and her dad are dealing with and alone.  It's not easy taking care of parents as a teenager, I know I had to and so when I read this, Anderson nailed the anger and frustration that a teen girl would face with ill parents.  This book is up for the California Young Readers Medal for 2017.  It's a good contender with the solid story that teens will connect with.  Perfect for any library.  Repeat, perfect for any library.  Enjoy.
