Ironman - Chris Crutcher

Now with a stunning new look, this award-winning novel is the story of a high school triathlete who is close to being expelled because of his explosive temper. Assigned to an anger management class, he addresses his difficult relationship with his father. \n \nBo has been at war with his father for as long as he can remember. The rage he feels gives him the energy as a triathlete to press his body to the limit, but it also translates into angry outbursts toward his teachers.\n \nNow dangerously close to expulsion from school, Bo has been assigned to Anger Management sessions with the school truants. With an eclectic mix of hard-edged students, Bo may finally have to deal with his long-brewing hatred for his father -- before it eats away at him completely.\n
