Book of the Week:
Thirteen Reasons Why
Jay Asher
"You don't ever know what goes on in anyone's life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person's life, you're not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can't be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person's life, you're messing with their entire life. Everything...affects everything. When Clay Jensen receives a shoebox in the mail filled with cassette tapes, he doesn't know what to think. He finds a tape player (who has tape player anymore?) and starts to listen. The voice he hears on the tape is Hannah Baker...who killed herself. Using the cassettes, Hannah tells the stories--thirteen stories--to explain the reasons why she committed suicide. If you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why. There are only two rules. Rule #1: You listen. Rule #2: You pass the tapes on to the next name on the list."
