A fantastic review from Teen Librarian’s Toolbox, a YA librarian review blog. “I tore through this book, couldn’t put it down… What I adored is that it didn’t tone down the abuse that Badi suffered at his first school. I thought it was a really well-written and thought-out book, and would not have any hesitation recommending it to my older teens.”
Permanent Record can be a difficult read, mostly because we realize these things are going on at high schools across the country; this is real. And in the wake of Steubenville, it’s impossible to ignore that abuse takes many different forms at school.
