One for Older Readers

I am getting a head start on next year's Young Reader's Choice Award nominees and have just finished reading a Gordon Korman book called "The Juvie Three". Three young men are in juvenile detention centres for crimes they have committed but receive a second chance when they are chosen for an experimental halfway house in New York City. Two of the boys relish this opportunity but one sees it as a way to continue on his road of crime. An accident leads to unexpected events; their councillor is hurt and finally wakes up with amnesia, not knowing who he is or who the boys are. The boys are faced with decisions on what they should do; go on with their lives trying to stay out of trouble till his memory returns or take off. What would you do?

What are you reading today?
