Book Description

Raise the Flag June 1, 1998
Raise the Flag Series Book 2 A diverse group of high school girls faces the challenges of standing up for what they believe is right. You’ll cheer them on and learn more about yourself in each book of the Raise the Flag series!

One of the two editors-in-chief of the King High newspaper, Norie runs with the “high achiever” crowd: kids who participate in things like the Academic Olympics…and cheating rings.

As a Christian who has recently rededicated her life to God, Norie doesn’t want to be a part of it. But stress builds as her friends pressure her to help them. Even worse, Norie’s dad wants her to study more instead of spending time with her prayer partners, the Flagpole Girls. He desperately wants her to get into Harvard. But with the change in the grade curve, that’ll never happen unless Norie starts cheating, too. Now if she’s going to resist the temptation—and avoid being framed by the very kids she’s trying to stop—she’s going to need prayer, and her Christian friends, more than ever before.

3.0 out of 5 stars And as good as some of her others, December 1, 2010

This review is from: "B" Is for Bad at Getting into Harvard (Raise the Flag) (Paperback)
The characters in this young adult general fiction book were engaging, and I liked that the author dealt with hard teen issues like the pressure to succeed academically and the temptation to cheat. However, parts of this novel didn't seem realistic to me (mainly how the adults acted, like how clueless they were about to how to identify cheaters stealing quiz answer keys).

Also, while I appreciate the message of "stand up for what's right and God and close Christian friends can get you through" in these "Raise the Flag" novels, the author always has the worst possible realistic consequences happen. Several times as a teen, I stood up for what was right against the tide, and I was surprised by how the backlash was more minor than I expected. If I'd read these novels back then, I think I wouldn't have dared to do that since I'd be turned off by the nearly unbearable consequences portrayed in these novels as the result for doing what is right. So I'm not sure I'd encourage a teen to read this series.
