Title: A Great Lesson in Cruelty
Review: We listened to this one in book-on-tape form, and the kids (6, 8 & 11) were very disappointed. As homeschoolers, I am often told that I'm not preparing my kids for the "real world." This book is proof that incarcerating 30 age-mates is not the "real world." My kids were shocked at how cruel the kids were to each other, the lies they told to each other, their teacher, and their families. They were even more disappointed that the children were not punished for their actions.Even for someone who is pro-traditional school, I would not recommend this book. Lucky Lunch Day is a very unlikely event in this day of closed campuses. The meanness displayed in it should not be glorified in the search to "fit in." The message given was that it's acceptable to do whatever it takes to have a "best friend."
