I recently read All Things New by Lauren Miller. I read a review copy compliments of Netgalley. I
am not being paid to give this review.
This story is about a high school girl who has a car
accident and the traumatic experience changes her life and how she perceives
herself. She already has a panic
disorder that was brought on earlier in her life at the time her parents
divorced. Now things are worse and she goes to live with her dad. It is hard
starting over with new friends though. This story is a great book to read to
open discussions about panic disorders, physical appearances and perceptions,
relationships, prescription medicine abuse, obsessions, and attitudes.
I think this book would be great in a high school library
and I think many students would enjoy reading it. In fact, there may be many
who could relate to some of the characters in the story and not feel so all
alone. Maybe by reading this book, many can get comfort and possibly be willing
to seek help if they aren’t already getting it.
