Covering everything from sexual abuse to gangsta rap, from the
decision to seek revenge in "the hood" to combat in the Persian
Gulf War, Things Get Hectic offers a kid's-eye view of a world
infinitely more terrifying than the one most of us grew up in. Here
is a book that chronicles with vivid immediacy the violence young
people are subjected to in their homes and neighborhoods; the
sudden, wrenching loss they experience when friends and loved ones
are taken from them; and their daily struggles to fashion a sane
response to a world gone completely mad. Each piece in the
collection is full of insight into the ways different forms of
violence are learned, endured, resisted, and ultimately overcome.
Things Get Hectic will let teen readers know that they aren't
alone and will help them cope with their own sense of menace, loss,
and rage. The book also offers teachers and parents a unique
opportunity to listen while kids share their most urgent
concerns.
