Nothing But the Truth by Avi

4.0

---

I read this since my 13yo son was reading it. I thought it was a very interesting book especially for our times with social media. Social media doesn't play into this story, but the idea of an incident happening and how quickly people side with one person or another without having witnessed the event. And from just a news article sharing one side of the story, people will attack and send hurtful messages when they don't even have all the info. I think it makes for good discussion about rules, even rules that seem stupid, and how to go about making change or staging up for rights.
