Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me preface by saying that I'm a 7-12th grade teacher and I plan to make this book part of my curriculum because the themes are so abundant. I know others have already said it, but there is a liking to The Breakfast Club, as the premise of the story happens during detention at a high school. There is so much depth to this story. This story is very appropriate to read with Junior High students. The bad language is kept to a bare minimum and the adult themes are implied more than stated. This book talks about many different family dynamics and how the children are affected. Without saying too much, it's important for high school students (and adults) to remember that our actions do affect others. The judicial system is another great talking point in this book, as well as unlikely friendships. I can't say enough good things and I'm excited to read it with my Junior High students. I did guess who was lying fairly early on, but I wasn't able to figure out the whole story until it was explained to me, so the book kept my interest the entire time!!!!!
