I didn't love this one at times, hints the rating, but this is one of those that if you truly enjoy YA-teen mystery/spy type stories, then you just might be in for a treat. I enjoyed how human Anastasia felt, and that she did grieve and go though normal human emotions, and not just jump into the 'su...
Holy crap! I don’t know where to begin! There’s espionage, conspiracy theories, lies, humor, a little bit of romance, and much more! Anastasia’s life changed in a blink of an eye, the night her parents died. With her sister, Kiera left to raise her, Anastasia is just trying to make it to the age of ...
70 authors contribute stories to this anthology about their experiences with bullying as victims, bullies, or observers. Normally for anthologies I go through each story separately, but I’d feel weird about doing that with this book since these are all personal stories the authors are contributing...
This book was an emotional roller coaster. I know that I mentioned earlier that I don't usually read more than one book at a time, unless it's one print book and one audio book.

Every classroom in the world deserves a copy of this book.Better yet, every kid deserves a copy of thi...
Also appears on The YA Kitten.Bullying has always been a serious issue, but it has become even more serious in the past few years. The suicides of gay teens that led to the It Gets Better campaign gained an unearthly amount of publicity, and teen suicide cases gain attention anyway because of the tr...
A MUST read for everyone whose every been the victim of a bully or worn the mask of one. Thank you to the authors who were brave enough to share their stories. While I don't think bullying will ever completely go away, as long as there are broken and wounded human beings walking this earth, I do t...
I looked through this book after getting it at my library for a friend who wanted to read it. FYI: with a few exceptions, it's almost entirely about girl-girl bullying and girls being sexually harassed by boys. (For instance, there is one story of a male bully who publicly accuses a girl of being a ...
