Hello and Merry Christmas. Talking to family had me hear about a bill that Paris Hilton has been sponsoring and recently got passed about children facing abuse in a school-like-setting. It made me remember this book I read almost 10ish years ago about a Boy in the same situation:
He did something to get sent to a “military” school out east (USA), and when there realized it’s more/less a giant prison for kids. Weeks go by and he has friends he meets in this prison, there’s a bully that is secretly working for the school to keep kids “in check”, and eventually this boy and a girl he meets and falls for (she’s the only “different” one, or she at least knows this whole thing is messed up) they run and escape, hiding and sleeping in a gas station or something, trying to make it to Canada.
I read this book and loved it, but I can’t remember the name for the life of me. Google searches throughout the night fail me no matter what I put (maybe i’m bad at searching or google got worse). Anything helps, thanks!
