The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu

5.0

Really loved this one--I finished it in just a few hours. I think it's an important read for high school students, especially in a world where information (and gossip) travels at light-speed. The story is told from the perspective of several different teenagers, and it revolves around Alice, the subject of some vicious rumors. We hear the story from the point-of-view of the people who started these rumors, which really makes these characters more difficult to dislike (even though you'll definitely be frustrated by them). I also love that we don't hear from Alice until the very last pages--it makes her perspective all the more powerful. I will DEFINITELY be getting a copy of this for my library...probably several, actually...and encouraging my kids to read it.
