QuaranTEEN Brady Durkin

In March 2020, the United States effectively shut down. A new coronavirus, COVID-19, swept the globe and everyone was told to stay at home until further notice. Although the unprecedented quarantine affected everyone, there was one group that seemed particularly impacted-teenagers. No longer able to go to school, participate in sports, or visit with their friends, the situation was a significant challenge for them. This collaborative book was created to give teens a positive, proactive project during this time. In the book, nine teenagers from across the United States share their quarantine experiences. Each of their stories provides their unique perspective of this moment in time as well as the lessons they have learned along the way. These teens have deeply internalized what is happening, and you will be inspired by their deep thoughts and their writing. In the end, you will discover the hopeful vision they have for our future.
