Abstract
One only needs to listen to conversations in a middle school cafeteria to understand just how fragile middle schoolers really are. Furthermore, if a YA book can help a middle school child open up and seek help from an adult about a serious issue, it is well worth the time to put a quality book in their hands. The books presented in this column all deal with the angst that many of our students are dealing with on a daily basis.
