[LM_NET] BOOK: Boot Camp by Strasser

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Strasser, Todd. Boot camp. Simon & Schuster, 2007 [978-1-4169-0848-7
// 1-4169-0848-X]
After continually dating his teacher, Garret is sent to a “boot camp”
to learn to obey his parents.  The campers are isolated from their
family and the rest of the world and given extremely harsh treatment.
They are beaten, put in isolation, and treated incredibly harsh.  This
238 book makes “Holes” look like a walk in the park.  It shows the
terrible reality of these types of training camps that actually exist
today.  There is a bibliography at the end of the book.  I do not
recommend this book for elementary students.  What made it especially
scary to me was that it is based on how some of these camps are
actually run.
