This book is the life of a teenager attending boarding school.I first bourht this book because the author (Ritchie Gillespie) was both my math and science teacher at an all boy boarding school. Reading the book, I found how I could relate to the character and how Mr. Gillespie could relate to us as students and to the character. Finding myself similar to the character, I enjoyed the book greatly.Product Description
Struggle, sweat, bleed, fall . . . then rise stronger than before.
Attending a single sex boarding school in Virginia, Lee Mills is a student with powerful charisma. Going to a school where the boys are happy, but the sheep walk funny, Lee and his friends have their share of good times and mischief until a conflict between Lee and his English professor, Dr. Gilder, draws a line between teacher and student, casting the two into an ideological war.
Antaeus is a humorous story of the importance of life lived according to principles, and a demonstration of how even through a seemingly crushing defeat, there is victory for one who remains true to himself.
