Monster

In Monster, 16-year-old Steve Harmon finds himself on trial for murder. As an amateur filmmaker, he decides to transcribe his trial into a script to cope with the horrific events. But with cynical authority figures and conniving inmates, Steve is forced to face who he really is in the face of prison, where he may spend the rest of his life. This compelling novel by Walter Dean Myers is a gripping page-turner that blurs reality and leaves readers questioning the truth.
