From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-It's disgusting being 14. You've got no rights, and what your parents don't tell you to do, the school does. By Paula Danziger

From AudioFile

Life is unfair for 14-year-old Lauren Allen, and now there's a way to do something about it. Enrolling in a new elective law class, she looks forward to learning more about her legal rights and options. Of course, life is never simple for teens, and Paula Danziger's adolescent insights and wry humor come through clearly in this presentation. Danziger's uneven voice may not appeal to some adults, but teens and preteens will be able to identify with every word. B.L.W.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting title!, Jul 17 2003

By	Lucy (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Can You Sue Your Parents For Malpractice (Paperback)

The title of this story is kind of catchy! The story is about Lauren,14, is thinking about running electives for her school. She has a 10 year old sister who would completely annoys her with her jokes, and a 19 year old sister who is living on her own with her boyfriend. Lauren met boy who is just in the 8th grade. The people in 9th grade think it's a taboo for a 9th grader dating an 8th grader. What I really like about this story is that Lauren sees what he really is on the inside and not because he's an 8th grader. She truly loves the boy and she doesn't care what anyone thinks about this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you want to sue your parents for malpractice?, April 25 2003

By	"nicolevanderrijn" (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Can You Sue Your Parents For Malpractice (Paperback)

If you do, you should read this book. Lauren is 14 years old and everything in her life seems very unfair to her, so she is thinking of possible ways to sue her parents for malpractice. As a fourteen-year-old girl she feels she's not a child anymore, byt she can't make any real decisions herself either. Lots of things happen to Lauren: her sister Melissa leaves the house, there's a lot of quarreling going on between her mum and dad, and she meets this new kid, Zack.
From the beginning of the book you can see Lauren growing up, she's handling everything quite well and she learns how to cope with a lot of confusing feelings. She is also making up her mind about whether or not trying to sue her parents.
Although this book is meant for young adults, I read it for educational purposes (I am 36), and I loved it. It is very funny at times and describes the various characters very well. You should read it!
