Accountable: The True Story of a Racist Social Media Account and the Teenagers Whose Lives It Changed by Dashka Slater
5.0
challenging hopeful tense medium-paced
This is a book that I think all educators need to read and most high schoolers also need to read. It portrays the complexities of how what happens online can bleed into real life and the fallout that happens from huge mistakes in a public forum. The author is gracious to the people's lives that she is portraying and investigating, but she also provides the context necessary to understand the impact on each individual involved in the story. Highly recommend because it is thought provoking--no easy answers but definitely a topic that we need to consider more as a society.
