Written from the perspectives of several characters, this is a book about cyber-bullying in middle school. I'm only 30 pages in and I'm really liking it. Well-written, clear voices, and important topic.

Teaching at a Middle School I feel that this is very true to life and is a must read for students who are engrossed in technology for so much of their life.

Truth About Truman School has many possibilities for discussion and I can see my students easily relating to the situations in the book. However, I was disappointed with the resolution and the lack of consequences for poor choices and hurtful actions. The ending just didn't deliver.

The Truth about Truman School was an amazing book about how hurtful cyber-bullying can be. I could not put it down. It also has a touch of mystery in it, which always keeps me reading.

It started out as a fresh take on cyber-bullying. Sure some of the situations were cliche (note: bullying is not just about a group of bleach-blond, catty girls everybody loves to hate) and such but it seemed to come ever so slightly into the present and connect with its audience. Oh but then in one cruel twist of fate came the ending. By the final pages everybody's voice began to blend in with each other. It got incredibly, transparently preachy. The characters became tools so the author could get her message across and somehow give the characters a happy ending. I have never met a person who has understood why they were bullied.
The plot, which initally grabbed my attention, fell into the motions of a classic bullying story. You could guess who milkandhoney was even before Lilly figured it out. As usual it turned from a clever interesting take on cyberbullying to a dull, predictable drag. (sigh)

My full review will come out later, but essentially it's an issue book about cyber bullying. Readable if it's a hot topic where you're at, but comes across like an after-school special.
