From pranks gone wrong to sexual abuse and murder, these stories will motivate readers to reflect on their own lives. In one case, 14-year old twin girls rob a bank in a desperate bid to save the family home, while another tale tells of a mother who makes a horrifying decision for her pregnant daughter. These people share their personal trials and tragedies in the hopes that others can learn from their experiences. It includes a 16-page color photo insert.

Use with reluctant readers,

This review is from: Seventeen Real Girls, Real-Life Stories: True Crime (Paperback)
I have bought many copies of this book because it keeps disappearing from my classroom library. The crimes have been in the news and they involve teen girls. Once my students pick it up, they refuse to put it down until they have finished the book. Even my really low readers can read this book. It's the high interest level that captures their attention. Kids that swore to me they would NEVER read a book, will read this one very quickly. As for ages, I don't think I would let a student younger than high school read this. The crimes are awful and they are real. The stories would definitely be too disturbing for younger children.

This review is from: Seventeen Real Girls, Real-Life Stories: True Crime (Paperback)
I purchased this for my teen daughter who loves these kinds of stories, but hates to read. I think she read it in one day because she couldn't put it down. I love any book that gets my child to read. I read it myself and enjoyed it. Not much detail, but easy to read and right to the point. Would purchase more of the same.
