Teen Book Talk

June 07, 2010

Hannah Baker had been bullied, picked on, and had enough.  With one last attempt to tell those around her what was really going on in her life, she recorded a set of tapes to explain the thirteen reasons why she decided to end her own life.  Clay gets them and he can't stop listening to Hannah tell her story, wondering why he's gotten them, and why he's one of Hannah's reasons.  Clay learns about Hannah and what makes her tick, but he's too late to do anything to help her.  There's nothing he can do for her now but listen to her story and learn from it.
