[LM_NET] HS: book

[Raynette Schulte <rschulte@WATERTOWNSD.US>]

Does anyone have any ideas on a book I can give a boy who is a junior in
high school, and is starting to show signs of losing himself.  Does that
make sense?  He's a terrific kid, knows what he wants in life (even
considered being a pastor at one point), plans to attend a Christian college
(not sure if this is by choice, or a family expectation).  But he usually
makes great choices, is there for his friends, and a pretty trustworthy kid.
But lately, he's been really pushing the edge.  He thinks he's invincible (I
know, all teenagers think this), but he's starting to think about bad
choices.  He's talked about drinking a lot, something his family  does not
do.  He is being rude to his friends, and making nasty comments towards
people.  Any thoughts on a book?  I have 3 daughters at home, so mostly what
I read is female-ish.
