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.

Shout by Laurie Halse Anderson
This story has many mature themes with in the life story of the author. What a life! The abuse and hard life that the author had gives voice to what others have had encountered. I am not sure if it's the best fit for high school library. I would say read it. It is an important book. If I had a daughter (or son) I would have them read it and then have a conversation about the life events of the author.
