Customer Reviews

A distrubing subject...but informative

This book made it to the Young Adult Choices listing for this past school year and was a very big hit with the students at my Jr. High Library. Many of them were moved by the subject, but stated that it is one that should be discussed more. Very informative and gives the reader a sense of what is transpiring in US schools today. Subjects such as uniforms, home schooling, stereotyping, suicide, the history of school violence (ex: Columbine High) diversity & acceptance and suggested solutions are presented in an easy to read, informative manner. Many of my students have read this book just for "fun" (no assignment attached to it....).
