Th1rteen R3asons Why
Jay Asher
Not long after a girl he had a crush on kills herself, Clay comes home to find a package waiting on his doorstep. Inside he discovers seven tapes, with the sides numbered one to thirteen. He puts in the first tape to discover the voice of Hannah, telling the story of why she decided to kill herself. She lists thirteen reasons, and thirteen people who each must be sent the tapes...or else a duplicate set will be made public. Clay can't imagine why he has been sent these, he can't image what he might have done to hurt the girl he liked so much. Compelled to listen, he spends the night with headphones on, going to the places that make up her story.
Suspenseful and emotional, teens will eat up this sad tale of a lost teen, which examines the multitude of ways in which kids can be failed by both their peers and the adults in their lives...and how deeply seemingly small words and actions can hurt people.
