Very good. Max & Sarah should read it when they are older. ( )

High appeal and readability. Female characters. Has won awards. ( )

This was a really good book about an important issue - bullying (online, verbal and physical). My heart bled for Avalon and Mitchell, and the way they were so viciously attacked by their school peers. At times it was a bit preachy and contrived, but overall a real eye-opener for young people and adults alike. ( )

This book explores cyberbullying and the social and peer pressure, issues which are evident in many schools like Avalon's school. It effectively portrays the effect of bullying on Avalon and her friends, which leads up to the suicide of her close friend, Marshall.

Easy and engaging read about Avalon coming from a small country area near Margaret River to Perth for Year 10. She is shown around by the Queen Bee and shows her intelligence, with her easy going nature and attractive features she becomes the target of instant bullying which takes on disaterous effects down the track. initially she finds it impossible not to read the posts and does not report it to her parents or teachers. She teams up with some of the other isolates in the school including a boy who she initially thinks is gay who later becomes a real target for physical violence which leads to his suicide and the tracking down of the bullies although the main instigator is not who Avalon thought it would be.
