SUMMARY:Teens Read: Gateway Readers Nominees
DESCRIPTION:A book club just for teens!\n\nRead the book\, then come to the Library to discuss with other teens and enjoy snacks and crafts.\n\nWe're reading all of the Gateway Readers Award Nominees and we will vote for your favorite title in March.\n\nThis month we're discussing:\n\n"The Glass Girl" by Kathleen Glasgow\n\nEveryone in fifteen-year-old Bella’s life needs something from her. Her mom needs her to help around the house\, her dad needs her to not make waves\, her ex needs her to not be so much. The only person who never needed anything from her was her grandmother—and now she’s dead.\n\nThere’s only one thing that dulls the pressure: alcohol. Vodka\, beer\, peppermint schnapps—alcohol smooths the sharp edges of Bella’s life. And what’s the big deal? Everyone drinks. Besides\, Bella can stop whenever she wants. But after she gets blackout drunk at a Thanksgiving party and wakes up in the hospital\, it’s time to face reality. And for Bella\, reality means rehab.\n\nGorgeously written and deeply compassionate\, Kathleen Glasgow’s The Glass Girl is a candid exploration of the forces pushing young women toward addiction—and what it really takes to help them get better.\n\n- Description provided by publisher.\n\nPrefer reading it as an eBook or eAudiobook? Search for it HERE.\n\nThis program is recommended for grades 9-12.
