BOOK TIP: The Scar Boys by Len Vlahos
As a child, Harry was tied to a tree by bullies. When that tree was struck by lightning, Harry is burned over much of his body, leaving him disfigured and scarred. Music - particularly punk rock - becomes a release for him. But how do you tell a college admissions person all of this in a 250 word essay? This becomes his essay of recovery, friendship, and mostly hope.
