Summary: Action, adventure, issues for teens
Review: Black Friday is the fourth title in the W Publishing Group's Soul Survivor series by Tim LaHaye and Bob DeMoss. LeHaye is best known as co-author of the Left Behind series. DeMoss is a pop culture specialist.

The series belongs on the reading list of every parent, church youth worker, pastor, teacher and teenager.

Jodi and Stan are high school friends in this new teen novel. Jodi has a summer internship with the local paper, and Stan has had a recent, very personal connection to abortion. The plot creates a context in which questions arise for the young heroes as well as for the reader.

Seeking answers, Jodi and Stan go "undercover" to investigate a local clinic, where they discover unsafe, dishonest and sometimes illegal practices. There's probably not a teenager in the U.S. today who doesn't have at least one friend or acquaintance who has had an abortion.

LaHaye and DeMoss hand teenagers the truth in a format they can enjoy; and they offer adults a great tool to use with their teens.
