Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's about survival after a drought. My young reader has enrolled us in book club at school. This was the teacher's pick. I didn't appreciate reading how to make a knife out of a piece of medal. I thought it was extremely inappropriate to describe how he and friends took his dog in the woods, tied him to a tree and left him to die. Seriously, he even talks about how the dog looked at him as he was walking away after they tied the dog up. There were several other things I hated about this book. I finished this book because it is important to show my young reader that if you commit to something you need to stick with it. I plan on questioning the teaching staff on their extremely inappropriate choice for young readers.
