Pick of the Week- Challenger Deep

this week is Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman.  This is a powerful novel that is a collaborative effort between Shusterman and his son, who like the protagonist, struggled with mental illness as a teenager.  The reader follows Caden through his path from high school honor student to an in-patient psychiatric hospital.  The novel creates characters that you genuinely care about while bringing you through a journey you will never forget.
