Breathing Underwater by Alex Flinn

I picked up this young adult book at the ALA conference and had it signed. I guess I picked it up because it talks about dealing with anger, and I thought it might be useful for me to understand teen anger. It was a very powerful book about a boy who hits his girlfriend, because his dad beat him up. Slowly through group therapy sessions he heals. Though this gave great insights into the mind of a teen, I liked Touching Spirit Bear more. Somehow it dealt with the same issues, but in a better tale.
