This book by Dori Hillestad Butler is a fabulous fictional account of cyberbullying and the way such bullying can cause harm to a whole school. Two students start a website called The Truth about Truman School where students could write about how bad school lunch was or about a horrible test they just took. The website morphs into a place where hateful information was spread and other students were put down and ridiculed. The site gets out of control and one student even runs away because of it. What will the creators of the website do to fix the problem? You will have to read to find out.
This was a great book about bullying that all middle schoolers should read. It is told through personal journal entries by the students at the school. It was very believable and a good lesson for all middle school students to read. I recommend this read for boys and girls from 4th grade and above.
