Freaky Green Eyes by Joyce Carol Oates

Interest Level: Young Adult
Reading Level: 6.8 grade
Lexile: 810
Genre: Realistic Fiction

Currently on pg. 45, chapter 3

The first chapter of this book starts out with Francesca "Franky" almost getting raped. There are a lot of good lessons in that one chapter: lesson one - under age drinking is a bad idea, lesson two - drinking to excess is a bad idea, lesson three - when in a situation like that - fight, and lesson four - hanging out with an older group of kids may not be wise. Nine months later, Franky realizes that her parents are having troubles. Amazon.com gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. The copy in the LRMS library gets checked out pretty regularly. I have hit hopes.
