Re: Jr High gossip/fiction

Has anyone suggested "Nothing But The Truth" by Avi?  I know is based on a kid
who doesn't want to say the Pledge of Allegiance, but then doesn't he say the
teacher punished him inappropriately and she ends up in trouble?

Maybe I'm wrong.  It's been a couple of years since I read it, and I can't find
my notes.
