Jay Asher's debut novel is not new anymore (published in 2007) but it is still one of those books everyone should read.
When Clay Jenson plays the casette tapes he received in a mysterious package, he's surprised to hear the voice of dead classmate Hannah Baker. He's one of 13 people who receive Hannah's story, which details the circumstances that led to her suicide. Clay spends the rest of the day and long into the night listening to Hannah's voice and going to the locations she wants him to visit.
You will be surprised at who Hannah blames for her suicide. This book reminds us of how important the little things we do and say are to other people in our lives. As my grade 5 teacher used to say: "Be careful in all things you do and say and we'll see you all on Monday morning."
