This book features the life of gangs. It contains lots of teen violence/drinking/smoking. I think kids 10+ should read it.

This book was really sad but amazing!! It was a great story and it has a really great moral. I love it!
Great book about friendship and finding out who you are and who you want to be. This will also be read in L-2.
