Michelle Batson writes of a protagonist who is a Military Brat facing life in not only another new school, but in a civilian school, something many Military Brats can relate to.
It isn't until much later when your ID card is taken from you and you are pushed from the citadel that you find out that you are not "normal" by most standards . . .

My mother hates when I say this, but sometimes I think life on a military base is like life in a Cult. Now please don't take that wrong! I don't mean we should all wear matching robes and the same kind of sneaker that will help us walk in space whe...
