| Description | In this video, teenage students will be introduced to "Hothouse" by Chris Lynch. Summary--Russell and DJ are best friends. Were best friends. Are best friends. That is, whatever caused them to drift apart has been suddenly eliminated by the worst kind of event: A tragedy. Now, with the deaths of their fathers—two firemen lauded as heroes by their community—Russell and DJ struggle to make sense of it all: To make sense of life after their fathers' deaths, to make sense of being heroes in their fathers' absence, and then to make sense of the violent wave of disgust and hatred when the details of their fathers' not-so-courageous deaths become clear. "Hothouse" is definitely not the happiest book, but it is hopeful. Tragedies may happen. But life after tragedies—that happens, too. This is a great resource to motivate upper grade readers. |
