Generation Dead is about an every day high school...but the teens who are dying don't stay dead. they come back to life and walk around kind of like the other teen but they don't breath and they walk around really stiff like. At one of the high schools is a gothic girl named Phoebe. Phoebe has a crush on one of the dead people. Anyways the dead guy that she likes name is Tommy Williams. Who tries out for the football team and gets clobered all the time by the other football guys, because no one like the dead people. Anyways I think that this book should go under respect because it's about how people should respect other groups.

Miss Popularity is a great story. Its about a girl who moves to Maine and she is the only one who wears different colors than everybody else. She likes to hang with a girl she saw that had a sparkly jacket that she sees in her locker. She shows responsibility by doing the fashion show at her new school for the fundraiser.

Dakota Moon -- the center of the universe

The book “The Center of The Universe” was about a teenager that experiences the rollercoaster ride of high school. I think this book falls in the character trait of self control. Through out the book, she deals with her parents and siblings and has to control temper rages, and she does.
This book may not be suitable for younger readers; with foul language other unapproved parts of the book.

Kissed by an Angel would have to go under self-control. The reson it would have to go under that is because Ivy has to learn to control herself after her boyfriends dies in a car accident. When she finds out who killed her boyfreind she has to control the urge to go after him since he is after her. She has to play along with the killers game or she will die before she can save the people she loves and will learn to love...like will. :)
