A thought-provoking novella -- I loved it! - By: , 16 Nov 1998
I read this novella for a projectin college. I am doing a project on gangs for my pedagogy class (I am a future English teacher). Once I began Rite of Passage, I could not put it down. The character of Johnny is so real & believable and, unfortunately, the situation of run-aways is very real, also. I recommend Rite of Passage to all, & especially to any teacher to teach to a junior high/high school class. I saw some connectionsin this book to The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton (which I also love). A very rewarding read!
