I'm writing to pick the collective brains of the group. I've been requested by an administrator to select a variety of materials for a teenage male student who is required as a condition of treatment, to read a novel (s) about a main character who faces the consequences of his or her use/abuse of alcohol or drugs. This student does not read on level. I don't know what grade he is in or what his reading level might be. I do know that he doesn't like to read and may have learning disabilities. I've searched Novelist and came up with Tears of a Tiger by Draper. I'm also wondering about Inexcusable by Chris Lynch (haven't read it (Yet). I showed the administrator Smack and Crank - but they were "too long" . I've looked at Reading Rants, Multnomoh OR. website and Patrick Jones' website, Nancy keenes site, and guysread.com. Can anyone direct me to a resorce or make suggestions for me? As good as it is, I'd like to avoid a book like "Go Ask Alice" as I think the student may be more receptive (I don't know if he will be receptive at all) to a male main character. TIA - Lisa PS - I'll post a list if anyone is interested Lisa K.
