ACTION
SUSPENSE
NO ESCAPE!
In this young adult page-turner, Aaron Sawyer, an ideal student at Highland High School, falls into the drug subculture of his school but has no hint of the deadly difficulties he is about to experience. Snowballs and Sinners traces the intense misfortune Aaron suffers as he braves a life filled with alarming predicaments. Although conflicts with his mother, his school principal, and the police are distressing enough, death threats from the Midnight Sinners, the school’s resident street gang, give rise to Aaron’s foremost fears. Dawn, Aaron’s only friend in this struggle, is a member of the school’s substance abuse awareness club, Operation Snowball. She alone supports Aaron in his battle to free himself from a hopeless situation. Written in a direct, fast-paced style with abundant dialogue, Snowballs and Sinners provides high-interest appeal. The numerous plot twists throughout the novel lead to a shocking climax.

Effect of a Program of Therapeutic Discipline on the Attitude, Attendance, and Insight of Truant Adolescents
Miller, Dan. “Effect of a Program of Therapeutic Discipline on the Attitude, Attendance, and Insight of Truant Adolescents.” Dissertation, Northern Illinois U. 1982.
This doctoral dissertation provides an alternative to traditional programs of in-school suspension. The investigation’s purpose was to answer the following question: In an in-school suspension setting, does a program of therapeutic discipline that involves counseling, bibliotherapy, writing therapy, and contingency contracting result in more positive attitudes toward school attendance, improved attendance, and greater insight into attendance problems among adolescent truants who participate in the program than among adolescent truants who participate in a traditional program of non-therapeutic discipline?
I provide a link below to the full text of the dissertation in a pdf. It is not the published version, but it does include all dissertation content. One can purchase a copy of the dissertation from ProQuest: http://www.proquest.com. The ordering page at ProQuest is: http://dissexpress.umi.com/dxweb/search.html.
