Boot Camp by Todd Strasser





You are asleep and someone wakes you up. Next thing you know you are handcuffed and put in the back of a car. You have no idea where you are going. You've been kidnapped, only these people have already been paid. By your parents. To take you away. This is the story of Garrett. His parents have sent him to "boot camp" to change him. At Lake Harmony Garrett is subjected to physical and psychological abuse to make him into the son his parents always wanted. But what if he shouldn't have been sent there?

"In 2005 more than 10,000 teens were incarcerated in boot camps, most of them against their will. " -http://www.toddstrasser.com/html/bootcamp.htm

This is a very disturbing account of what really takes place all over the U.S. and surrounding countries. Not for the weak of heart!
