Period 8 | Chris Crutcher

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

In this terrifying and provocative novel by the bestselling and award-winning author of Deadline and Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, a teenage boy tries to uncover what happened to a girl who has vanished from his high school. Was she abducted, or did she run for her life? Paul "The Bomb" Baum tells the truth. No matter what. It was something he learned at Sunday school. But telling the truth can cause problems, and not just minor ones. And as Paulie discovers, finding the truth can be even more problematic. Period 8 is supposed to be that one period in high school where the truth can shine, a safe haven. Only what Paulie and Hannah (his ex-girlfriend, unfortunately) and his other classmates don't know is that the ultimate liar is in their midst. Terrifying, thought-provoking, and original, this novel combines all the qualities of a great psychological thriller with the controversy, ethics, athletics, humor, and raw emotion of a classic Crutcher story.

Period 8 | Chris Crutcher

so-so

The least clear and least well written of all Chris Crutcher books I have read. It has good points, but not enough for me to give it a pick. Of course, that could be because I‘m now middle aged as opposed to the pre-teen I was when I first encountered Crutcher and the uniqueness of Stotan. Still, I‘m giving it a so so because it might hit that reluctant reader sweet spot in some collections.

Period 8 | Chris Crutcher

I‘m going to work on my in-progress reads for the next week. I‘ve got five ebooks, one print, and one audio that I‘ve started since New Years. First up is Period 8; so far it‘s Crutcher‘s usual story, but the telling is a little disjointed.

Ashley_Nicoletto I really need to do this as well. 🤣🤣 7y
