Shelley Stoehr

Shelley has done a great deal of speaking about YA literature in general, and especially about self-injuring, or “cutting”, the subject of her most popular book, CROSSES. Shelley is available for readings, interviews and signings. Contact her at christiancarthy@sbcglobal.net or through this site.

AWESOME
Great content and excellent details. Shelley really pinpointed the way teenagers get when there is noone around, the whole outcast picture was perfect.

Best Book
I got this book at school at the book shop. I am into troubled teen books, I am soon going to get 'Tomarrow Wendy'' also by Shelley Stoehr. She is my all time favorite author. All her books seem really good. I have let a whole bunch of people read my book and all of them said they loved it.

This book, in the first couple of chapters, explains so much in what is going to happen. This story is a real life thing. Many people, including myself at one time in my life, can truly relate to this book. I believe every young girl should read this because it is a lesson you can learn and actually understand anywhere else.

Touching
A really good story that touched my heart. It is what teens now a days have to face-reality.

Best book I have ever read
This was a really good book. I am a 11th grader in high school and it is very seldom that I will ever pick up a book. The reason I was so interested in it at first was because the book tells what some teen girls do when they are depressed or angry. I found it so good because there are a lot of times when I get so angry that I do cut myself and I really didn't believe that there was anyone out there who knew or did the same things that I have done.
