Break by Hannah Moskowitz
4.0
I've read books about eating disorders, drinking, drug abuse and cutting, but never about "breaking". Jonah is on a mission to break every bone in his body - not because he enjoys the pain, but because broken bones grow back stronger than before. With his family falling apart, Jonah thinks he needs all the strength he can get.
I don't get the "appeal" of breaking, but Jonah was a very sympathic character. I can understand his compelling urge to try and make things, right, better and stronger. The only part of the book that didn't really work for me was when he was at the institution. I found it hard to belive that the other kids/patients would be so open to the power of suggestion.
Reccommended for middle/high school (although there is a lot of use of the f-word)
