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.

Cut by Patricia McCormick
Wow! This book is very real. It's very powerful and honest. This is the second book I've read by Patricia McCormick and that was Sold another powerful story. I was in tears at one point. It's about a teenager who cuts herself and is now living in a place with girls who have other problems such as anorexia. Callie is stone silent trying to keep control of every moment of her life. Her scheduled visits with her therapist are one sided. The waiting and process is a journey of learning and understanding.
