jbmorgan86 's review for:
Nothing But the Truth
by Avi
This is a short little “documentary novel” about a brat of a kid who destroys his teacher’s career. The boy is flunking her class and cannot try out for the track team. He tries to get transferred to another class by obnoxiously humming to the national anthem during the morning announcements. When he repeatedly does this, he is suspended. His parents think that he is simply expressing his rights. The media gets a whiff of the story and eventually a Rush Limbaugh kind of DJ turns this into a national affair. People begin calling for the teacher’s head.
In this little book, almost everybody seems both guilty and innocent at the same tome. Lack of communication and bureaucracy leads to suffering of all involved.
I will be teaching this book to 8th graders for the first time next school year. I’m curious as to how it will be received.
