BootCamp

The book I have chosen to read is called Bootcamp by Todd Strasser published in 2007. This book is about a boy who is sent away to a correction camp for dating a woman that is 10 years older than him who is also his teacher. "Your parents sent you to Lake Harmony because they love you." This is good beginning. I am interested right away and hoe to read the rest of the book. The author does a great job showing how horrible the camp actually was.
