Raising the Shades

Rating:
Summary: A Great Book!
Review: This is a great book for adolescents that like to read about solving problems in life. Raising the Shades will show you how one kid handled a problem that a lot of kids wouldn't experience in their every day life. This book holds you in suspense so you have to keep on reading. I liked it very much!

Summary: At last we can talk about addiction and families
Review: What struck me about Raising the Shades was the believeabilty of the youngsters. After teaching middle school for 19 years you realize which students go home to a life like that of the main character. Those students are a joy to teach because they never do anything wrong, but you can feel how brittle they are as they deal with all the ramifications of addiction. Thank you Doug Wilhelm!
