What It Takes to Pull Me Through: Why Teenagers Get in Trouble–And How Four of Them Got Out
By David L. Marcus
Houghton Mifflin, 338 pages, $13.95 paper
Based on a 14-month look at teenagers in crisis, this book is a reminder of how young people disassemble, and how they can get turned around. David Marcus had full access to a Massachusetts boarding school, and his intimate look at the transformation of students–as well as their teachers and parents–illuminates the mysterious adolescent world, even among students who appear to bear no burdens.
