Troubled Youth Loved This Book

As a volunteer working with boys in the juvenile justice system, I was able to read this book to some troubled youths at a residential treatment center. They thought the book was terrific--not only did they identify with the cases described, but the legal afternotes provoked much discussion about the consequences of their own actions. It is written at a level that even the boys with limited verbal skills could understand it.

Handcuff Blues

Our Gov't. class just finshed the book Handcuff Blues & it was one of the best book that I have hered. The story in the book are about different people geting in trouble w\ the law & it is a cool book to read. We want more books like that because it tell about different laws in different stats.
