Take life in any small town as you know it, mix it up with a few other small towns, throw in a little imagination for the things you might not know, and you've got life in Hadleyville Falls High School. Sometimes it seems like a world far away and others it's eerily familiar. Students will likely enjoy reading about the Administration, and Administration may enjoy reading about the students. Although for the most part they are far from funny, or charming, and in some cases likeable. Yes indeed, High School might be the last place in the world anyone wants to be nowadays. It's quite the mixed up bag of pros and cons, and in this novel, we take a pretty close look at some of those cons. ( )0.129 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0976612704, Paperback)A mosaic of teen chaos, confusion and sexual anarchy is the backdrop for suburban ninth-grader Alison Gepner’s search for meaning and first love. A “good girl” who would rather be seen as an edgy individualist, Alison is surrounded by the soldiers of a cruel and crushing teen culture. She faces the fight of her life, just to have a life. The wily schemes of a jealous competitor (Claire, the newly slimmed-down group home girl) threaten to take away Alison’s new connection with the intensely attractive and mysterious Elijah before she can claim him as her own. The adult world, too, seems to be a lonely mess, full of insecure “helpers” who cling by their fingertips to the illusion of control.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:51 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
