Ballads of Suburbia by Stephanie Kuehnert (MTV Books, July 21, 2009). I just finished it a couple nights ago in a few teary, overwhelming, inspirational hours. Wow. What words can I say to accurately describe this book and its power to you all? I'm still struggling to write the review, to write something that can do it justice. This should be required reading for every urban teenager,or anyone who's ever felt lost or betrayed or alone. Publication is still a couple of weeks away, but I just wanted to say this right now, before all the hubbub over the actual release date and the Traveling to Teens tour occurs. You should definitely check this book out.
