BAD by Jean Ferris182 pages
This is a very sad, very realistic look at life in a juvenile delinquency facility. Dallas lands herself in lockup after her father decided he cannot handle her and refuses to take her back home on probation after she and her friends stick up a convenience store. The voice of this is so real, I would have thought I was sitting right in the cell with her. It was no surprise to learn that this book came about after the author visited a rehabilitation center...this book was the product of several interviews with the youth there.
