Boot Camp Summary

In the book,"Boot Camp", a boy named Garrett was in love with his teacher, misbehaved and didn't listen to his parents. When it was dark, at night he was snatched by  agents that worked for a secret boot camp. This camp was called Lake Harmony. In Lake Harmony, it was cold with sement walls that didn't have windows. Garrett got beat up a lot and got into lots of trouble. These are some of the people that were mean to Garret, Troll, Unibrow Robert, Joe, Ron, Jon, and David zit face. After months of being at boot camp Garret decided that he needed to escape. Garret had made friends with a guy named Pauly and a girl named Sarah. These characters were very dynamic and were not just ordinary people. When they were escaping, they made it to Canada and Pauly and Sarah were on the other side of the river that Garrett had drove a boat across. Garret decided to save the people who worked at boot camp who were sinking in a boat instead of just running away and being free with Pauly and Sarah. The people who worked for boot camp had sent Garrett back to boot camp and he had got punished and so did everyone else just for Garrett's behavior. Garrett's parent's had decided that he had learned his lesson and they were proud they he had saved the people who worked for Boot Camp and was ready to go home. Pauly's parent's had found him, but Sarah had just disappeared and no one knew where she was. A possible theme could be, "behave and stay out of trouble because if you don't, you can get majorly punished for your actions." Another possible theme is," if you are kind and helpful to someone, something good might happen to you."(The second theme was more referring to the part at the end.) In this book there was a lot of character vs. character going on.
