Teens in Trouble

For this project I present a collection of books about teens in big trouble.

The the students work in their reading groups with one of the general project packages that you can find on the intro page on “Young Adult Literature Projects”.

All these books are real page-turners. Some of the declared “non-readers” in my classes have told me that they actually hadn’t known books could be so good. 😎
