I want to get some books for the detention room at the school where I work. The school is a combined middle and high school, and students may spend anywhere from a 30-minute lunch detention to a full day if they have ISS.
I’m looking for book suggestions that:
-Can be read in 30 minutes or less—such as a storybook for older kids or adults, or a collection of short stories.
-Aren’t too challenging and are appropriate for ages 11+.
-Are uplifting, inspiring, or educational in some way.
-Won’t be seen as "lame" by teens. We already have some Chicken Soup for the Soul, but the type of students we serve don’t really connect with that style of material.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
