  <description><![CDATA[Andi Davis is looking for an escape from her disorganized, dysfunctional home life, and West Point seems the only logical way out. Andi figures that given everything she has had to put up with at home, West Point will be a breeze. But nothing could have prepared her for the first six weeks of cadet training, better known as Beast. <p> Andi is screamed at, belittled, and worn down during the long, grueling training that is designed to break cadets and then rebuild them into soldiers. The upper class cadets bark orders so fast that her head spins, and the fact that she is one of only two girls in her platoon makes things even more difficult. But Andi decides that anything is better than going home, anything. <p> This first novel by Amy Efaw, a West Point Class of 1989 graduate, is a powerful and gripping look at an intensely privatecommunity with its own rules and regulations. It shows us the terrors and triumphs of those who want to belong to a team.<p>Books for the Teen Age 2001 (NYPL)</p></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&lt;h4&gt;&lt;center&gt; Welcome to Beast: &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; <p> Six weeks of intensive basic training for incoming West Point cadets. The thought of never-ending commands, drills, and predawn runs might scare some people, but not seventeen-year-old Andi Davis. After being yelled at for her entire life, Andi is sure she can handle anything that West Point can dish out. But as the days wear on, orders are barked faster, the work gets harder, push-ups pile up, and Andi is nearly destroyed by the grueling routine. Will she find a way to make it through this living nightmare? Or will Beast devour her? </p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I forgot about this one until I saw it listed on another reader's list.  It's very realistic and has a memorable main character (especially since I read this 5 or 6 years ago).  Looking forward to Efaw's new book due out in 2009!]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Andi Davis is looking for an escape from her disorganized, dysfunctional home life, and West Point seems the only logical way out. Andi figures that given everything she has had to put up with at home, West Point will be a breeze. But nothing could have prepared her for the first six weeks of cadet training, better known as Beast. <p> Andi is screamed at, belittled, and worn down during the long, grueling training that is designed to break cadets and then rebuild them into soldiers. The upper class cadets bark orders so fast that her head spins, and the fact that she is one of only two girls in her platoon makes things even more difficult. But Andi decides that anything is better than going home, anything. <p> This first novel by Amy Efaw, a West Point Class of 1989 graduate, is a powerful and gripping look at an intensely privatecommunity with its own rules and regulations. It shows us the terrors and triumphs of those who want to belong to a team.<p>Books for the Teen Age 2001 (NYPL)</p></p></p>]]>

My son, who's in the Civil Air Patrol, could really relate to this novel because many of the experiences are similar to what he experienced at his encampments.

    <![CDATA[&lt;h4&gt;&lt;center&gt; Welcome to Beast: &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; <p> Six weeks of intensive basic training for incoming West Point cadets. The thought of never-ending commands, drills, and predawn runs might scare some people, but not seventeen-year-old Andi Davis. After being yelled at for her entire life, Andi is sure she can handle anything that West Point can dish out. But as the days wear on, orders are barked faster, the work gets harder, push-ups pile up, and Andi is nearly destroyed by the grueling routine. Will she find a way to make it through this living nightmare? Or will Beast devour her? </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Andi Davis is looking for an escape from her disorganized, dysfunctional home life, and West Point seems the only logical way out. Andi figures that given everything she has had to put up with at home, West Point will be a breeze. But nothing could have prepared her for the first six weeks of cadet training, better known as Beast. <p> Andi is screamed at, belittled, and worn down during the long, grueling training that is designed to break cadets and then rebuild them into soldiers. The upper class cadets bark orders so fast that her head spins, and the fact that she is one of only two girls in her platoon makes things even more difficult. But Andi decides that anything is better than going home, anything. <p> This first novel by Amy Efaw, a West Point Class of 1989 graduate, is a powerful and gripping look at an intensely privatecommunity with its own rules and regulations. It shows us the terrors and triumphs of those who want to belong to a team.<p>Books for the Teen Age 2001 (NYPL)</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;h4&gt;&lt;center&gt; Welcome to Beast: &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; <p> Six weeks of intensive basic training for incoming West Point cadets. The thought of never-ending commands, drills, and predawn runs might scare some people, but not seventeen-year-old Andi Davis. After being yelled at for her entire life, Andi is sure she can handle anything that West Point can dish out. But as the days wear on, orders are barked faster, the work gets harder, push-ups pile up, and Andi is nearly destroyed by the grueling routine. Will she find a way to make it through this living nightmare? Or will Beast devour her? </p>]]>
