Period 8 is a classroom like no other. This is where students can come in and tell their hopes, dreams and fears. The students love their teacher. So when Paulie confesses to his girlfriend Hannah that he was unfaithful and she drops him, that is where they both go for help. Logs (as the kids refer to their teacher) listens, but lets the kids work out their own answers. Then Paulie's friend Arney asks if it is okay to date Hannah. Paulie really doesn't want to say yes, but he does. Turns out Arney has a different agenda, he is more creepy than he comes across and everyone who comes in his path is in danger. I really liked the book, however I had issues with the language. I couldn't give it to school library for that reason and that is too bad for it is a perfect book about a bully. There is so much to talk about in this book that with parental permission, I highly recommend it. Coming April 2013. $17.99 Greenwillow Books Ages 14 and up.
