Zero Tolerance

(3) 4-6 When star student Sierra Shepard discovers she mistakenly has her mother's lunch bag, containing a paring knife, she immediately hands it over to the lunch lady. Unfortunately, her middle school's zero-tolerance policy concerning weapons leaves no room for exceptions, and Sierra finds herself suspended and awaiting possible expulsion. The hazy lines between right and wrong are intriguingly examined in this engaging story.
