About this ebook
The Teardrop is the second in the Kenroy stories series. Corey is a classmate of Kenroy's from a badly dysfunctional household. His father is a newly released prison inmate, while his abused mother has a drug habit. Young Corey is a gifted artist struggling to find a place for himself under some rather troubling influences. The book is packaged to include talking points for Developmental Bibliotherapy, plans for individual and group facilitation, and a carefully specified creative writing exercise. "The major aspects of the story can be applied to different situations but the story line is most appropriate for teenagers who are dealing with transitions, trust, friendships. drug prevention, gangs, crime, morality, and related issues." Dr. Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson, Bibliotherapy Education Project
