Hard Time: A Real Life Look at Juvenile Crime and Violence

I am an 8th grade teacher on the near West side of Chicago. I teach in a neighborhood full of gangs, crime, and drugs. All of my students are at least 3 years behind in reading. This book was a godsend. Even my most reluctant reader couldn't put this book down, and eventually the kids were fighting over it. I have recommended this book timeand time again, to teachers to scare students to get their lives together- it is a necessity in an inner city classroom!
