Anger, athletics, and a school ultimatum

Bo’s life is shaped by two linked pressures: the anger he carries toward his father and the physical demands of triathlon training. After angry outbursts put him close to expulsion, school-mandated Anger Management sessions bring him together with other students labeled truants. The setup connects family conflict with the consequences of anger at school, while placing Bo among peers whose experiences may complicate his view of himself and his situation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about family conflict and anger.
  • Readers drawn to young adult fiction involving school discipline, peer groups, and athletics.

Book overview

Bo has been at war with his father for as long as he can remember. The rage he feels gives him the energy as a triathlete to press his body to the limit, but it also translates into angry outbursts toward his teachers.
Now dangerously close to expulsion from school, Bo has been assigned to Anger Management sessions with the school "truants." With an eclectic mix of hard-edged students, Bo may finally have to deal with his long-brewing hatred for his father -- before it eats away at him completely.
