Monster by Walter Dean Myers

4 out of 5

This is a great read for boys 13 to 18. The book follows the prosecution of 16 year old Steve, who is labeled a Monster, for his alleged role in a crime that leads to a murder. Handwritten ledgers accompany the layout of the book in the form of a film script to take the reader into Steve's world where jail is about surviving. The gut wrenching agony of a young man is eerily relived through his own trial.

Coretta Scott King Author Honor Books

Hey! I'm a middle school ELD and tech teacher and I love your blog! I ran across it by googling Monster for a YA report for a Master's class. Thanks for all the great recommendations - I will definitely be using them in class!
