Product Description:
In the middle of the night Garrett is taken from his home to Harmony Lake, a boot camp for troubled teens. Maybe some kids deserve to be sent there, but Garrett knows he doesn't. Subjected to brutal physical and psychological abuse, he tries to fight back, but the battle is futile. He won't be allowed to leave until he's admitted his "mistakes" and conformed to Harmony Lake's standards of behavior. And there's no way to fake it. Beaten, humiliated, and stripped of his pride, Garrett's spirit is slowly ebbing away. Then he hears whispers of an escape plot. It's incredibly risky -- if he's caught, the consequences will be unthinkable -- but it may be his only way out.
In this tense, riveting novel, award-winning YA author Todd Strasser reveals what really goes on in highly secretive -- and notoriously dangerous -- boot camps, a stealth prison system where any teenager under the age of eighteen can be imprisoned at his parents' whim.

While the book overplays its hand, this camp would have been a boon to many of the high school losers I knew. Hippie liberals want to believe the brighter, well behaved kids come out with thier spirits crushed but in reality they come out with cleaner souls and compass pointed toward success. I only wish some of the now literallydead or brain dead fellow students I once knew had had such an opportunity. High school reunions would be a much more joyous occasion.

Although the topic and setting might appeal to at-risk kids, the main character represents only one fraction of that audience. He's prodigiously gifted, extraordinarily wealthy, and one half of an anomalous relationship. He's as big a misfit (largely due to his honesty) at the boot camp as he is elsewhere. In spite of (or because of) his advantages, Garrett is an extremely sympathetic character, and that makes the story work.
The events of the book are unsettling and believably rendered ... Read More

The book Boot Camp by Todd Strasser is a really nice book. The main character of the book Garret has been sent to this military camp called Lake Harmony which is far away from the civilization. He has been sent here for disrespectful behavior with his parents. Sarah is another character in the book. She gets sent back to the camp year after year.
One of my favorite parts of the book is when Pauly says: "you don't get out by giving them what you think they want. You don't get out until ... Read More

This looked like a fast-paced book, maybe for teens who didn't see themselves as "readers" so I am not surprised at the non-stop action and controversial plot lines. When we meet Garrett he is in handcuffs, headed to who-knows-where with two mean-sounding escorts. Turns out he has rich parents and an attitude problem, and their solution is to pay $4,000 a month to the experts at Camp Harmony, to get him to toe the line.
While Garrett is a bratty, arrogant, pain in the rear, the brutal ... Read More
