Young Adult Reading Machine

As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Anger is a Gift by Mark Oshiro

Can you imagine a world where secret police from the government kidnap and physically hurt peaceful protesters?  It's a good story.  I'm going to say that you should read the book before you add to your library.  It's good but just double check to see if you should add to your library.
