The book I am doing this book review on is called The Wave by
Todd Strasser. This is the first book that I have read by this author. The book
is about a history class that is learning about World War II. The Teacher, Ben
Ross, fells like the class doesn’t fully understand why the Germans followed
Hitler. So, Mr. Ross comes up with a class experiment called The Wave.
The Wave starts off as a classroom experienced that turned
the entire school crazy. The Wave was supposed to show the students how you
were supposed to be disciplined, help others in your community, and use your
actions. The Wave’s motto was Strength Through Discipline, Strength Through
Community, Strength Through Action. There many conflicts throughout the story
concerning the leaders of The Wave. Couple, Laurie and David broke up because
of The Wave after being together their entire high school experience. The Wave
drives almost the entire class where The Wave began Apart.
I would recommend this book whose looking for a quick read.
The book is filled with conflicts within the characters. The book is short and easy to read. The book
is exciting and after you get into it you be able to put it down!
