What At-Risk Teens are Saying about Power Source:

"If you've ever felt like giving up, this book shows you reasons not to."
Amy, 15 years old


"I really feel this book because I've been in the same positions. When I was arrested, I was ashamed, embarrassed, and felt like the world was against me. I felt alone, and like I was the only one who felt alone. But now I know there's people out there just like me. It felt like it was ‘my’ life story."
Shasta, 16 years old

 

"Before, I felt like I was being disrespected by everyone who crossed my path, but now after reading this book, I know that you have control of you — no one else does unless you allow them to. I took a long look at myself I'm still not perfect, but I have a whole new outlook."
Kenyata, 20 years old


"This book can help you if you feel lost and angry. Its about real life stuff that happens to kids everyday."
John, 17 years old
