Living With Jackie Chan by Jo Knowles (372 Pages)

This book was AMAZING. It's about a boy named Josh who makes a thoughtless mistake and can't find it in him to forgive himself, so he decides to move in with his karate-obsessed uncle for his senior year in order to turn over a new leaf with a fresh, new, outlook. Josh's uncle is determined to help him start over, move on with his life, and help him achieve the closure that he needs.

I read this book in two days because the characters are so well-defined, and it is written with so much emotion that it keeps you hooked from beginning to end. I was invested in the outcome of the problem the entire time. Reading this book was so easy to relate to, watching Josh grow throughout the year, trying to forgive himself for hurting someone unintentionally. I recommend this to every high school student who needs a little hope in the process of forgiving themselves. A little help goes a long way.
