I gave this two stars, and then decided it's not worth two stars. The book would be crappy but innocent if it wasn't for it's Newberry Award and the blurb from the New York Times, about the story of the main character needing to be shouted out. This story doesn't need to be shouted out, it's a bullshit story, and if I had read this book with some of the patriotic covers I would have probably thrown the thing across the room about..more
We had an interesting discussion about the book at dinner tonight. I was surprised by her support of the teacher character (I expected her to side with the student). We talked about how one incident can escalate into a huge problem, and how gossip can destroy people.

This book was way too real for comfort. This is exactly how things go down- a student is uncomfortable about their academic performance, so they manufacture a fight about something unrelated. The next thing you know, the parents are screaming at administrators and you get called into the office to apologize to the family. It feels unfair, but 'it's unfair' is the wrong lesson to take from this story.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: I did not enjoy this book at all. The only reason I finished it was because it was short and a very quick read. The plot angered me and the story never really went anywhere. I just feel like more could have been done with the storyline. It was boring and nothing got accomplished.
COVER: I do like the cover of the book. I love that it's simple and that they used the word to The Star Spangled Banner in the form of a flag; I think that's pretty clever.

WARNING LANGUAGE CHILDREN
Ok so first off this book was not written well at the fuck all. It seriously was the shittiest book I have ever read. I would rather read the twilight series 3 times then read this shit again.

Now lets go on to Phillip. This kid is such a fucking cocky little dick. Seriously I may be exaggerating but even if I am exaggerat..more

On the one hand, I think it opens up some really interesting questions about the power of gossip, hearsay, and ways in which the truth can easily be twisted and changed. The 'documentary' style of the book is definitely interesting, and opens up a lot of possible conversation.
On the other hand, I found pretty much every character insufferable, I could not stand Phillip especially, and while he does end up being punished in the end, not nearly enough of a punishmen..more

Nothing But the Truth: A Documentary Novel is a 1992 novel written by Avi. It tells the story of an incident in a fictional New Hampshire town called Harrison where a boy is suspended from school for humming the United States National Anthem[1] as well as the effects of this story receiving national publicity. The main theme of the novel is the subjectivity of truth and that while individual statements may be true, taken separately they may not give an accurate picture of an event.
Nothing But the Truth won a 1992 Newbery Honor.[2][3] The novel was later adapted into a play.[4]
Plot summary[edit]
Philip Malloy is a track-obsessed ninth grader at Harrison High School in New Hampshire. He blames his English teacher, Margaret Narwin, for her poor performance in her class, and he earns a D for his grade. Since he is no longer eligible to try out for the track team, he avoids telling his parents and instead pretends that he no longer has an interest in trying out. Throughout his time in school, his number of class time disturbances increases. Sql anywhere 12 driver download.
One day, he begins humming the national anthem when he's meant to stand 'at silent, respectful attention.' Ms. Narwin asks him to stop multiple times. After three days of humming, he is given the chance to apologize to Narwin for his disrespect towards her. After Philip refuses to express regret, Vice Principal Dr. Joseph Palleni is called by district mandated procedure to suspend him for two days.
Philip then tells his parents that he was suspended for 'singing' the National Anthem. Mr. Malloy (Philip's father), shares this with their neighbor, Ted Griffen, who is running for the school board. He arranges an interview between Philip and a local journalist named Jennifer Stewart. Ms. Stewart decides to pursue Philip's story about the suspension and goes on to speak to many of the adults involved in the incident: the superintendent, Dr. Albert Seymour; the principal, Dr. Gertrude Doane; the vice principal, Dr. Joseph Palleni; and Ms. Narwin.

Ms. Stewart's slanted newspaper article quickly garners national attention when it is picked up by the Associated Press. Philip and his 'anthem singing' controversy are soon elevated into the national spotlight; leading many to laud him for his patriotism and condemn the school's (alleged) attempts to stymie it. Meanwhile, Harrison School District faces a critical school board election bearing significant implications over the school's future. With funding already in shortage, there is an urgent concern that the school could suffer greatly from further budget cuts. A reporter attempts to cover Ms. Narwin's side of the story, but her article is buried during an international crisis. In the midst of the controversy, Ms. Narwin is asked to 'take a break from teaching,' and she reluctantly agrees. This is soon followed by her resignation and she leaves to visit her sister in Florida.
After using Philip's story as a platform, Ted Griffen is elected to the Harrison School district school board. At this post, he declines to extend much-needed funding to Harrison High School in a demonstration of disapproval for their handling of the incident. When Philip returns to school, he has trouble adjusting to his dubious notoriety and becomes an outcast. His role in the dismissal of Ms. Narwin and his invitation of a media firestorm on the Harrison community fuel feelings of resentment toward him from his peers. He is harassed by other students both on the bus and in the classroom while his crush, Allison, openly resents him for the removal of her favorite teacher, Ms. Narwin. Matters decline further as Philip is informed by a friend that the student body has begun drafting a petition with the intention to compel him into revealing the truth about the incident (an idea that originated from the track coach, Coach Jamison). This propels Philip into a breaking point and he begins skipping school, causing concern from his parents.
Philip ultimately decides to transfer to a private school called Washington Academy (despite protests from his father, as the tuition would use up all of his college funds). At Philip's new school, he is urged to demonstrate his patriotism by singing along to 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' At that moment, he starts to cry and admits, 'I don't know the words.'
