Bottled Up
By: Jaye Murray
I just read this book today- in one day. It was that good... It's really the type of book any 8th-12th graders would absoluteley love. And I'm sure anyone else would too. The book is about a 16 yr old, Pip, who spends his time drinking, smoking, and getting into trouble. Not only that, but his dad is an abusive drunk too.
One day, he's sent to the princible's office (for the billionth time) and the princible tells him he's being expelled and is going to call his father. Pip, knowing his father is gonna "kill" him, begs for him not to call. The princible then offers him another choice: he has to go to all his classes AND attend councelling.
Throughout the book, Pip faces many challenges, which he usually copes with drinking and smoking.
Is now one of my favorite books. I can't believe this book ended up being so good... I guess the old saying is right... "You can't judge a book by it's cover..."
BTW, this is a book, even guys would love...
