Because if you did, I need some desperate help.

In English class, we're supposed to write an editorial to convince teenagers that they should read this book, and to do that we need to relate the book somehow to teenagers today.

So what in the story relates to today's teenagers? I tried to figure this out for the whole class, but nothing came to mind. I feel this book seriously has nothing to do with teens, and I'm supposed to get a rough version done by tomorrow, so this could only mean one thing... I'm totally screwed.

Well, unless someone can help. Can anyone help?
