Boot Camp
By Todd Strasser
Garret’s parents agree their son needs to change. He is taken from his home in the middle of
the night and sent to Lake Harmony, a boot camp for “troubled teens”. While the camp goes to extremes to mold him
into the perfect child his fellow inmates try to recruit him to attempt an
escape plan. As the camp slowly chips
away his hope and dignity he realizes that the escape plan might be the only
way out of the torturous camp life. If
the risky plan fails, the consequences could drastically change his life for
the worse.
Boot Camp had an interesting
plot, but the storytelling was rushed. The book described events that could
occur, although, the author did over exaggerate certain topics in the book. A boy would enjoy this book over a girl due
to the high violence level. It was an easy book to read, however it requires a
higher maturity level. Overall the book had an interesting story line but it
could have had a slower pace. Emma B. Teen Reviewer
