In addition to Sky's difficulties with succeeding in mainstream classes, Morris highlights his battles with authority, his struggles to be a good friend, and his crush on the popular neighbor girl. I should also mention that there's a story within this story. The secondary story is a novel Sky is working on for a creative writing class--the only class he's ever really enjoyed. This novel ends up providing clarity and hope for Sky in the end.
Even though Living in Suspension is geared toward teens, I think adults would benefit from reading it as well. As a warning to teachers who might want to use this book in the classroom(because it would be perfect for discussion related to differentiated learning environments and teen issues in general) and parents, this book contains instances of swearing and drug use. These instances added authenticity to the subject matter, and nothing was over-the-top or added simply for shock value.
Disclosure: I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. ( )
