Review: Oceanside High School
Rating: 4 out of 5

The eternal question of bridging the divide between social groups in a high school with 2,700 students comes to a head in this book.  Seniors are so hard-wired into an image that the thought of changing direction or appearance is earth-shaking.  Why do students need to fit (and keep) other students into boxes of expectations?  Why can't the quarterback know fourth year Latin and some art history?  Why can't the painter find serenity and comfort in the calculations of accounting?  Good luck to these seniors in the breakout roles of their young lives.
