This is a MUST read for high school students. It really makes you think about the effect your words and actions, no matter how small, can have on another person. The format of this book is an act of creative genius. I both read and listened to the audio of this, and I have to say that the audio version is much better for getting the point across (once you've read the book, you'll understand why). This will definitely be required reading for my own children in 8th grade.
