"CAT FIGHT- about the only good thing that can happen the first day of school."
So begins Janet Nichols Lynch's Messed Up. I may not have liked the questionable language and borderline "school inappropriateness" but I could not stop reading this book! At the start of the book, the protaganist, R.D. gets suspended for helping break up a fight. Not fair, you say? Well, nothing in R.D.'s life is fair. He has never met his father, his mom is in jail, and he is repeating the 8th grade again. R.D. is living with his grandmother's boyfriend who is not in the best of health. Will R.D. make it? Read this very realistic novel today to find out.
