I first read this book when I was in high school, and after finding it at the thrift store for 99 cents, decided to re-read it with an adult brain. I had forgotten most of what happened in the roughly 10ish years since I last read it, and I think it holds up pretty well. In my opinion, this book is a great choice for many high school students to read. It deals with difficult topics in a way that is accessible and relatable for people that age. It’s unfortunate that this is frequently banned/challenged in schools.
