Kick Me - Paul Feig This book is laugh out loud funny. A very similar style to Fulghum but with more humor. Every possible adolescent angst issue is addressed in a hilarious format. Definitely for older readers but it's at the top of my list as a book I know I can give to any male to read and they will enjoy it for sure! TD

Dawn Martelli: A Child Called It by David Pelzer. Life was good until David's mother starts feeling pressure from her marriage and turns to drinking. Her anger is focused on David. This book covers child abuse and what David goes through and how he managed to survive. This is the first book of three. For some reason my reluctant readers love this book as well as my advanced readers. Sad story.
