[LM_NET] BOOK:How to get suspended and influence people by Selzer

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Selzer, Adam. How to get suspended and influence people. Delacorte,
[978-0-385-73369-4]
Leon's eighth grade gifted and talented class (a bunch of smart
wise-guys) are given an assignment to make health and safety films for
the 6th and 7th graders.  Of course Leon chooses the topic of sex
education so he can make a dicey film.  Suddenly he gets serious
though, trying to pattern his film after a Fellini masterpiece.  His
which explains that going through puberty is tough, is not accepted
well by the school and he is suspended.  Now he and the school get
embattled in a censorship war. This is a fun book about a bunch of
smart rebels. Be careful that although the book is only 184 pages, it
is not for elementary readers.  There is discussion of masterbation.
The book would be a great one for high-interest, low level readers.
