Teens can learn some important life lessons by reading
Contemporary Biographies, Autobiographies and Memoirs, including such books as:
A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah,
Three little Words, Ashley Rhodes-Courter's memoir about life in the foster care system,
Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board by Bethany Hamilton, about her life after losing her arm in a shark attack and
Hole in My Life by Jack Gantos, who is now a well-known author of books for children and young adults, about the far-reaching effects of a bad decision.
