A story of middle school cyberbullying as seen through the eyes of:Zebby… she just wants to tell the truth.
Amr… he wants people to understand that he is just as American as anyone else.
Lilly… she wants to be popular.
Hayley… she IS popular.
Brianna… she wants to be Hayley’s B.F.F.
Trevor… he just wants to be left alone.
This is the product description on the book's website and tells it all. This book is so topical right now. Bullying has been around since the dawn of man, it seems to be part of human nature, unfortunately. The internet/technologies of today make it even easier to do so. Students are able to post their opinion, photos, videos, etc. without having to actually bully someone face to face. This increases the likelihood ten-fold. This book is a really interesting look into several situations that end up in bullying - from both perspectives. It pushes the envelope about "free speech" and damaging someone's life. It's a great book for these times.
