4.0

  This book takes on hard topics, and details what it's like to be alone among peers. It talks about bullying, and sexual harassment, and doesn't shy away from the devastating truth that there will be just as many people saying it's the victims' fault for being harassed as there are people who believe them. I think it's important that these types of books be accessible to younger audiences so they can see the red flags before this sort of thing happens to them.
