Question by Caryl: Do you know any books about teenagers going through rehab programs?
My brother is looking to read books (fiction or non-fiction) about teens going through rehab programs. This can be for behavioral problems, drug programs, anything really. He’s also looking to read books about teens in juvenile hall or in jail. If you could tell me any titles along with the author, it would be greatly appreciated.

It’s not “rehab” exactly but it’s about a teen boy who goes to a mental hospital ward to deal with his depression/anxiety problems. Maybe your brother would like it?

The Center For Animal Behavioral Research : HIGH NOON NONSENSE ON GREENWOOD LAKE, NJ – Jeffrey Loy – A BABY WALLEYE AND A BABY MUSKY were up and about on Greenwood Lake this foggy day in October, 2011. The fish were still not moving well in mass up onto the structures, although I might of well missed the movement if it occurred in the morning or at sundown. Getting on the lake at noon is not the proper strategy for putting the odds in your favor but this numb-nuts of a knucklehead will never learn. For information about spoonplugging, animal behavior lessons/lectures and animal behavioral rehabilitation contact: Jeff Loy at The Center For Animal Behavioral Research 908-879-4646 [email protected] PS Jay and Redy – It was nice to meet both of you on the lake today and to share our fishing experiences. I hope all those structures that I pointed out produce for you. Thanks Redy for manning the camera and I hope you both soon catch some walleyes much bigger that what we found today. Enjoy the spoonplug. -JJL
