content: For me, I went to a privite school my whole life and this year '06 my friend decided to go to boarding school so she picked up this book and read it in a day (she is not a very fast or aved reader)and recommened it. Only this summer did I read it. I thought it was an AMAZING book. This book I think tells the truth about the high school life and is not just another book where the author is trying to figure out what the teenager is like. This book tells of the confusion of cruchs and high school and being an outcast. I think this book is one of my favorites yet.
