    The novel “The Cross and The Switchblade” written by David Wilkerson explains what actually happens throughout New York and how a priest is trying to save some children on trial for murder. I would recommend this book to year 12 as it explains what religion really does to improve your everyday life and it shows how gang members are never really as scary as they make themselves out to be and therefore could be something that students in year 12 take an interest in. The Cross and The Switchblade is about a priest who sees an ad in the newspaper about six boys that are on trial for murder. The priest cannot understand why, but he has an urge to go to New York, where the boys are placed, and attempt to save them.
