I felt that this book was intersting because it makes you think about patriotism and how we are expected to act in school with all the rules and regulations.  Avi is a great writer of preteen and teen books, and I know you will not be disappointed with this story.  Therefore, if you are looking for a quick read that will make you think about yourself and how you would react to a boy like Philip inappropriately singing the national anthem in school, please read this book.
