- This novel is written by Jay Asher at DiscoMermaids.
- I purchased this novel because one of our school board members recommended it on his new blog…that within itself is very exciting! Here are his words: “This book should be a ‘must read’ for everyone in high school. It is a blending of Newton’s Third Law of Motion with Six Degrees of Separation. Only 288 pages, it is a quick read.”
- This novel is told from two points of view, one of which is very unique and so memorable.
- This novel is about bullying.
- Probably written for young adults, this novel should be required of all high school counselors or student advisors.
- All administrators should read this novel, especially those who care about the popular kids.
- All teachers should read this novel.
- Then all students should read this novel…but only after their teachers have read it. Why?
- You just have to read it to discover why.
- This novel will make you a better, no, a more observant parent.
- This novel will open your ears, your eyes, your mind.
- As you read, you will replace the main characters with persons within your own life, situations through which you have lived. Or maybe not…if you are lucky.
- You will see through a different lens, maybe closer to 20-20. Real life.
Read this novel for a life-altering perspective. Just read it…please.
There…thirteen reasons why you…no, everyone…should read Th1irteen R3asons Why.
