My Heartbeat by Garret Freymann-Weyr
Posted by Gwen Bartlett
This is a story of three teenagers who are struggling with their sexual identity: Link, Ellen's older brother; James, his friend; Ellen, who loves them both. Link doesn't want to be gay, but may be. James thinks he is gay, but may not be. Ellen thinks Link and James are gay, but doesn't want them to be. She is in love with James and wants him to love her in return. Ellen and James end up as lovers, and Link ends up with a girl-friend, but none of them are sure how they really feel. This would be a good story for teenagers struggling with their own sexual identity or facing a similar problem with a friend or relative.

Stuck in Neutral by Terry Trueman
This is the story of a very smart boy. He can remember everything he hears - conversations, TV shows, advertisements, everything. But, no one knows that he understands anything because he has cerebral palsy. He can't talk or use his hands or even blink his eyes when he wants to. He has no control over his muscles. He has seizures very often and his father thinks he is in great pain when he has the seizures. Actually his seizures free him from the prison of his body and allow him to experience life like other teenagers. Because of the pain he is suffering, he thinks his father is going to kill him so that he won't be in misery. His father doesn't realize that he is intelligent and caring. This book really made me stop and think about students with cerebral palsy that we treat like children. They may be more intelligent than we are.

The story of Bobby and Nia, 16, and pregnant. The story is told in flashbacks from Bobby's viewpoint. He ends up taking care of the baby when Nia has eclampsia and brain death. He loves the baby, Feather, more than anything in his life, but he finds out how hard it is to be a high school student with a baby. His old life (then) is far different than his new life (now).
