Period 8 by Chris Crutcher*

Period 8 isn't very good. Most of the book is a boy trying to figure out feelings and swimming. Near the end of the book the plot starts to pick up. There you learn that some characters run a underground business that ruins kids' life. When I first picked out this book, I thought that this was a book about the future. I was surprised when I started reading this book, but still didn't like it. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
