Teens will discuss the Young Adult book, Pretty Monsters by Kelly Link, then do a casket-shaped craft based on the short story from the book, The Wrong Grave. The Wrong Grave tells the story of a high school boy who’s girlfriend dies and, in his grief, he stashes love poems in her casket during interment so she will know of his love forever. When he has second thoughts and goes back to retrieve them, he’s in for a big surprise!
