Shelley Fraser Mickle's novel, The Turning Hour, deftly explores the motivations behind a teenage girl's attempted suicide. The accompanying  Educator's Guide advises instructors on using the novel to challenge students to discuss troubling issues of adolescence. Written by a panel of educators who have used it in their classroom, The Turning Hour Educator's Guide begins with a biography of and interview with Mickle to give the author's perspective. It also provides an overview of using the novel as bibliotherapy, plus a bibliography for further research on this approach to literature. Finally, the guide offers traditional assignments for further exploration of the novel. The Guide is a valuable tool for any reader wishing to delve below the surface of the story.
