 Pennsbury High School is a large, pretty typical, middle-class high school in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. What makes Pennsbury unique is their prom. Reader's Digest Magazine named Pennsbury's prom the best in the nation a few years ago. Why is their prom so special? Follow along with Michael Bamberger, a Sports Illustrated writer, who spent a year with Pennsbury students and faculty chronicling the preparations for the 2003 prom. Wonderland: a Year in the Life of an American High School proves that truth is stranger than fiction and just as touching.  (Jean B. Bellavance for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2006-2007)
