Book Description
When Ben's social-studies teacher assigns her class to spend spring break volunteering at a charitable organization, Ben chooses a day-care facility for homeless children--and throws himself into his work. When he reports what appears to be the physical abuse of one of his charges, Ben runs headlong into a system that seems bound not to do what's right. /95.
