Tears of a Tiger is by Sharon M. Draper. Four high school basketball players get drunk after a game and are involved in a car crash that kills one of them. This is the story of the survivors and how they deal with the death of a friend and the guilt that goes along with it. This book touches on teenage drinking and suicide. It's a dark, but true-to-life, multi-cultural fiction story and worth the read.
Ratings: 8th grade - 9 out of 10 - MC (mature content - teen drinking/suicide) - YA (young adult).
