The senior class of Lee High School perform 200 hours of community service before getting their diplomas. Ten short stories give various perspectives of the assignment. Rob Thomas uses what I think is supposed to be real teen language, but since the book was a decade old, it seemed dated to me. Or maybe I just don't know what kids sound like anymore. The stories were all entertaining, but I preferred the ones in which the service project helped the student grow, such as The Laser and Turtles.
