Don't Get Caught by Kurt Dinan
3.0
I will admit to you....I picked this book because of the cows. Absolutely.
It's the story of a group of high schoolers who are setting out to prank the world, or at least their little academic corner of it. There are interesting characters, with the broad range of teenage issues right down to the Mean Girl student and Too Hip To Teach teacher tropes. But that's okay, what do you expect to find in a high school.
I was impressed to find that this small town school has it's own campus security/police, a water tower, lacrosse, and reasonable student parking despite being a public school and the only one in the town. But in make believe land, some things need to be over looked.
The three star rating is because it was a brilliant idea. There wasn't romance, just peripherally, sports fever was present and important but not to the story line, crude/horny humor was present and it all worked. The capers were fun to watch unfold. The thoughts that occurred in Max's head will funny. But.....the message was a little heavy handed. And sometimes the story was hard to follow.
