Great story of teens making good changes in behavior on their school campus. Formerly a rowdy, party school that destroyed property every year, some students get fed up with the immaturity and make changes "grassroots-style". Great story! See teens you can make a difference too.

I found this book interesting only because I am a current student at the high school described in the book. I thought that it was boring at times and hard to read. If you are looking for a little history on Mundelein High School then this is perfect for you.

Pretty interesting. This proves what kids can do when they put their minds to it.
