The Overachievers: The Secret Lives of Driven Kids was a compelling novel that really broadened my view of the things that high school students go through. This work of nonfiction was amazingly mind expanding. Alexandra Robbins, with the help of her journalism skills, brought fourth an unseen world of insane students who will do anything to gain admittance to the schools of their choice. The highly addictive book is impossible to put down. The plot consists of nine students stories. AP Frank, a student who feels immense pressure from his parents to succeed. Julie, a high school senior who is a track star that is afraid of the choices she makes. Sam, a senior who is scarred that all his work will never pay off. Audrey, a junior who is obsessed with being perfect. C.J., who is perceived as the flirt. Pete, he is perceived as “the meathead.” Taylor, who is perceived as the popular one. Ryland, who is the school slacker. Finally, there is “Stealth,” a student who likes to lay low and keep to himself. He is described as “being under the radar.” All of these students undergo different challenges in their schooling careers and find ways around them all. However, in some cases, they are driven into depression, resentment, and some are pushed to the brink of suicide, all because of all the stress and pressure. Some of the pressure comes from parents, some from teachers, coaches, but a lot comes from the student them self. Robbins explains some of the problems found in schools today. Cheating and study habits, the over testing of students, sports rage, a drug market for studying, and the inane college admission processes that students have to undergo. Robbins uncovers many secrets and horrible truths that exist in schools all around the nation. In the book, there is a multitude of conflicts that exist, man versus man, man versus society, and man versus himself. Robbins uses the journalistic writing style and injects her own opinion and facts into the writing, which betters the readers understanding of the events that are taking place. This book was very well written with a smooth flowing writing style that was appeasing to the mind. I enjoyed the book and it helped me realize that my schooling is not nearly as stressful as some other students are. It made me feel inferior to the students that were written about, but also led me to realize that I am glad to not be in their situations. I recommend that students, teachers, and parents read this book, so they all may understand how much students actually go through in school, the things they hide, and the actions they take to get where they want to be. It would help enhance the understanding that everyone has of each other and their lives.
