Blurb ....
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker--his classmate and crush--who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list. Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.
This is a classic edge of your seat story and just when you think you know what's going on BAM, along comes another scene that leaves you shaking your head. This story takes you on a journey of sorrow, doubt, anger, revenge, heartache and more sorrow yet it leaves you with a little ray of sunshine. This is so powerful on many levels that I would love to see it being introduced as a Year 10 novel. A must read for all.
