Wild Bird by Wendelin Van Draanen


Wren is snatched from her home by a "police type" guy, taken to the airport, and sent to a desert camp.  Her parents paid for it.  Wren started doing pot in 6th grade when they moved to a new town and she had no friends and felt lonely.  As she started high school things escalated into stealing, selling drugs, and drinking.  Throughout the book we visit Wren's past as she tries to work though her addiction and fight the demons it brings with it.

I listened to the audio and read the book interchangeably.  I would say this book is fine for a mature middle school reader.
