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.

Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
I really liked this book. It's set in Australia, about 8 hours away from Sydney. Its' a great story and a big mystery follows Taylor. She has limited memories of growing up. Her mother is a drug addict. There is a lot of personal pain from various characters. Jonah, almost ended his own life, his father was physically abusive to his mother, brother and himself. Jonah killed his father with a cricket bat to protect his family. It's a good story. Maybe too advanced for teens. It's for someone who will commit to the story that is worth committing too.
