IT WASN'T ME by Dana Alison Levy

 

School isn't Theo's favorite place, so when someone vandalizes his photography project, he is convinced everyone hates him. The next day someone opens the darkroom door even though he had posted signs telling people not to open it. That action ruins more photos he was developing. Everyone is definitely out to get him.

There are five suspects the principal believes might be guilty. She is ready suspend them all until Ms Lewiston steps up and suggests something called Justice Circle. The plan is for Theo and the five suspects to give up their upcoming week vacation to come to school and work out what really happened. 

Ms Lewiston may be Theo's favorite teacher, but the activities she has the six of them doing are simply put - uncomfortable. Will all this talking really end up with someone confessing to ruining Theo's art? Will the group thinking change? Will they become friends in the end?
