This is the book I was instructed to read in 8th grade. At the time I was with the honor students. We read this while I believe everyone else in class read Lord of the Flies. I reread this last year. I am still trying to figure out why my teacher thought this book was more appropriate for honor students? Don’t get me wrong, I think it is a good book, but I feel like reserving judgement until I read Lord of the Flies and A Seperate Peace (books it has been compared to).

In the meantime I am setting this book free via bookcrossing.
