Alt Ed is about an over weight girl who has to go to an afternoon therapy class after she was caught spray painting a students car. Only she didn't do. Her soon to be best friend does, but she takes the blame. In the afternoon class she meets different people. Her best friend is one of them. They all have problems concernig school. Like her best friend is gay. Going to the classes help her better herself and her personality towards the people around her. I like this book because it shows that everyone has problems no matter how big or small they are. ( )Highschool Students learn how to deal with life and how they effect others. People are not all they appear to be on the Outside. Really well written. The book Alt. Ed is a about a teenage girl. She got put into a special class, created by her school for the students that deserve to be expelled; it is kind of like a second chance. The girls name is Susan and she is scared to live her life after being bulled for being overweight. In this class she learns to speak her mind. This is an excellent book for teens that need some inspiration in their life’s. Susan is an overweight girl who fears being ridiculed at school. She has no friends and she spends most of her time trying to make herself invisible and being suspicious of anyone who talks to her.. waiting for the "fattie" punchline. Susan is accused of vandalizing her main abuser's truck. She is due to be expelled but is sent to "Alt Ed" instead. She and 5 other kids sit in a room together after school and talk about their feelings and each other. It plays out exactly like a rated PG version of Breakfast Club, except well supervised and far less edgy. Reminded me of The Breakfast Club: a diverse group of teens learns about themselves and each other in an after-school counseling group. But less endearing and affecting, somehow. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

| Descrição do livro |
|
“Carefully nuanced connections between characters plus insight into the adolescent ability to use low self-esteem as a cruel weapon catapults Atkins’s novel of troubled teens well above the familiarity of its trappings. Each of Atkins’s characters emerges, fully formed from these pages.”
