13 Reasons Why

Have you read 13 Reasons Why bu Jay Asher? It is an amazingly powerful book, and it is also on the Coventry High School 2011 Summer Reading List. In this book, a teenage boy arrives home to a box full of cassette tapes. On the tapes is the suicide note of the girl he liked, who had died a few weeks prior. Scroll down to find out what reviewers had to say about the book.

But also visit the Th1rteen R3asons Why Project and discover what teens are saying about the book.On this site, people have written in (you can write in too) with what they thought of the book and how it touched their lives.

The Booth & Dimock Memorial Library has copies of this book in print and on audio.


From Booklist:

When Clay Jenson plays the cassette tapes he received in a mysterious package, he's surprised to hear the voice of dead classmate Hannah Baker. He's one of 13 people who receive Hannah's story, which details the circumstances that led to her suicide. Clay spends the rest of the day and long into the night listening to Hannah's voice and going to the locations she wants him to visit. The text alternates, sometimes quickly, between Hannah's voice (italicized) and Clay's thoughts as he listens to her words, which illuminate betrayals and secrets that demonstrate the consequences of even small actions. Hannah, herself, is not free from guilt, her own inaction having played a part in an accidental auto death and a rape. The message about how we treat one another, although sometimes heavy, makes for compelling reading.
