2.0

Pip has a crappy life and avoids it by drinking, smoking pot and cutting classes. He is disconnected from his family to avoid conflict with his abusive, alcoholic father. The principal finally has enough of his behavior and threatens him so he must start attending counseling sessions. The reality of the story line will draw a lot of readers in who are facing similar situations at home. I would recommend this book to high school students because of the level of drug use and physical and emotional abuse in the book. It has a positive ending as Pip realizes that drugs are not the answer to his problems.
