really liked it
bookshelves: young-adult, fiction

Reading in anticipating of my son's teenage years - and what an eye opener regarding how horrible it could be if you are earmarked as 'uncool' or if you want to ensure that you don't get labelled as such. It brought back memories, but I hadn't realised boys, in certain school situations, could experience similar, and it was very sensitively written. Wouldn't say I 'enjoyed' it, but I think it is an important book for kids to read, to understand the impact of bullying - both to those bullied, and those doing the bullying.
