TRIBES
Art Slade
Hardcover Wendy Lamb Books | September 2002 | $15.95 |
0-385-73003-9 | Ages 12 up

How many of you have ever thought about the cliques in school as people from different tribes with different rituals and different cultures? An interesting thought for most of us, but Percy finds it is the only way he can survive in the cruel world of high school, where the code is “survival of the fittest.” After his father disappears and his best friend commits suicide, Percy withdraws and tries to analyze the people and events that surround him by writing in a journal. As graduation gets closer, he and his friend, Elissa, learn more about life than what Percy can put on the page.
