Product Description
Patriotism or practical joke? Harrison, NH -- Ninth-grade student Philip Malloy was suspended from school for singing along to The Star-Spangled Banner in his homeroom, causing what his teacher, Margaret Narwin, called "a disturbance." But was he standing up for his patriotic ideals, only to be squelched by the school system? Was Ms. Narwin simply trying to be a good teacher? Or could it all be just a misunderstanding gone bad -- very bad? What is the truth here? Can it ever be known? Heroism, hoax, or mistake, what happened at Harrison High changes everything for everyone in ways no one -- least of all Philip -- could have ever predicted.

 It's a book November 24, 2008
I don't know what to say about this book. I bought it for my son per his teacher's request. Everyone had to purchase one. To date, they still haven't used it. I paid for the fast shipping and got it here fast! That's all I know to say about it for now. Maybe I'll read it and come back and review it again.

 Nothing but the Truth December 18, 2007
In "Nothing but the Truth" by Avi, there is a 9th grader named Philip Malloy. In homeroom one day, he started to hum "The Star-Spangled Banner" that was played over the PA system everyday. His teacher, Miss Narwin, after asking him to stop many times, sent him to the principal. However, Philip was then just given a warning. After telling his parents what happened, they told him that he had the right. Philip hummed the next two days and again was sent to the principals. This time, he was suspended. After Philip got home, his father took him to their long time neighbor who was running for school board. Their neighbor had a reporter there for an interview. Philip told the lady what happened. With his, Philip's story was out in the paper. Before long, the suspension for Philip Malloy was known nationally. letters of hatred were sent to Miss Narwin telling her people like that shouldn't be teachers. After the whole thing, Philip did not want to stay in his school. He transferred to a new school. There, Philip was asked to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner". He started to cry, because he did not even know the words.
