Prey

Discussion page for //Prey// by Lurlene McDaniel

Oh, no a Lurlene McDaniel book!! This one is actually pretty good and has certainly sparked some discussions from those who have read it. I like that it's a female teacher and not a male teacher who abuses her relationship with a student. Kelly Budd Keene High School

I had the same reaction- not a Lurlene fan. But, that said, this book wasn't bad. An engaging account of a 15-yr-old student who has a sexual relationship with his female teacher, from the initial reaction of the collective male student body when she starts at the high school, to the "romance" stages, through to the aftermath & consequences. A well-written book, with a controversial topic- sure to spark plenty of discussions among teens. Bonus- despite the subject, the cover is not over-the-top or otherwise embarrassing for a teen to read. Lucia Wiggin Memorial Library, Stratham
