Angry Management

Description

Welcome to Angry Management It's a place for misfits. For stories that will rip out your heartand give you back one better than what you started with. Stories about prejudice, rage, and hope. About surviving it all and showing the world that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. In three novellas, Chris Crutcher brings together some of his most unforgettable characters-among them Sarah Byrnes, Angus Bethune, and Montana West-to bare their souls. No sugarcoating here. Just the truth.

Chris Crutcher has written nine critically acclaimed novels, an autobiography, and two collections of short stories. Drawing on his experience as a family therapist and child protection specialist, Crutcher writes honestly about real issues facing teenagers today: making it through school, competing in sports, handling rejection and failure, and dealing with parents. He has won three lifetime achievement awards for the body of his work: the Margaret A. Edwards Award, the ALAN Award, and the NCTE National Intellectual Freedom Award. Chris Crutcher lives in Spokane, Washington.

Teens comfortable with Crutcher's black-and-white take on controversial issues will delight in these stories, and with his best book cover yet, this may draw new fans to the fold." -- ALA Booklist
