I love this book so much. Its so different than most of the suicide teen books. Usually i dont pick up the teen problem books, but somehow this one caught my eye. After reading some of it I immediately bought the book, also NOT a norm for me at all. Its a very special story.

A strong novel about how the way students treat one another can lead to unforeseen consequences. Hannah has a strong voice and the young boy who gets the tapes is obviously affected deeply but her story.

I can’t keep this book on the shelves. All age levels and types of students are reading this book. I think Hannah’s character is strong. It’s a unique concept for a plot.

This book has impacted so many readers. I think it has mostly appeal for girls, but it is an excellent choice for the list.

This was such a different approach to a teen suicide book. It definitely needs to be a final nominee-if not, I will be really disappointed.
