Impulse

by Ellen Hopkins

Sometimes you don't wake up. But if you happen to, you know things will never be the same.

Three lives, three different paths to the same destination: Aspen Springs, a psychiatric hospital for those who have attempted the ultimate act -- suicide.

Vanessa is beautiful and smart, but her secrets keep her answering the call of the blade.

This is a private group for my seniors who are completing their second book project - which brings them all one step closer to passing my class and, hopefully, graduating! Students are to start a post with their book title in the subject line. Pose a question or make a comment about your book within one week of joining. Then, over the next two weeks, respond to at least three other people. Finally, post a brief review of your book when you complete it - do this under your original post. All 3 of my classes will be under the same group; therefore, it is very important that you put your book title in the subject line. Also, keep all posts relevant to the subject! I am going to start one post about something random - you can use this to talk to each other about how much you hate all this work I am assigning- or anything else random. I won't be mad....say whatever you want to each other as long as it is here and not under a book post! : )
Teenagers Who Read 29 books / 32 members / 23 posts Now guys, this isn't for those teenagers who read books like The Clique, or Private books. It's for teens who actually read books that are written well, and aren't stuffed full of preppy girls living in the highend of Hollywood. There are enough of those books out there, with enough popularity in school systems. We don't need to promote those. Let's try some real reading. Stuff that makes you think. If you agree, this is the group for you. I'm not going to put age restrictions on here, but no creepy child molesters please!
