Zero Tolerance

Description

Review "After turning in a paring knife she accidentally brought to school with her lunch, a high-achieving, rule-following seventh-grade girl is suspended, and her case becomes a media sensation. . . . Provocative and fun, from a master of the school story." --Kirkus Reviews"This compelling novel could also spark a discussion about the slippery nature of rules and how they are enforced." --School Library Journal"This will make provocative discussion fodder, and it will also encourage kids to think more deeply about their relationship with rules and approval." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books About the Author Claudia Mills is the author of many chapter and middle grade books, including 7 x 9=Trouble; How Oliver Olson Changed the World; and, most recently, Third-Grade Reading Queen. She lives in Boulder, Colorado.
