The Real Winners Are The Readers
A real heart-touching story, Beth Goobie takes on the challenge of writing about teen social issues, comflicts, drama, and things the teachers dont know about. This story is very real, i'm sure that virtually anyone who reads this will understand and can relate to the issues being delt with. The only thing I can critique on was the age reccomendation. It says for grades 9 and up but I am going ...
