Battle Dress by Amy Efaw

4.0

Amy Efaw's Battle Dress is a vivid account of one girl battling the odds to make it through "Beast," the Basic Training at West Point. In a bid to escape her crazy and frustrating family, main character Andi hopes to find some escape - but what she gets is a challenge unlike anything she could have imagined. Extremely outnumbered by the guys, Andi must face the daunting physical and mental challenges to prove to herself that she can do it, that she has what it takes. As the book is based on the author's own experience, it's honest, real, and intimidating, yet at the same time, inspiring.
