I usually enjoyed Sheryll Woods novels but I did not find the attachment that I found to some of her other novels. Being a teacher, this story did not seem real. Yes there is bullying in schools, and yes adminstrations and schools have policies in place for anti-bullying; however, this novel took it a step further by bringing in so many other people into it. I think this novel would have been stronger if there was just one plot point, either the story of the teacher or the story of the student. 
This novel is a very easy read, with vocabulary that makes it easy to follow. I suggest this novel for people that do not work in the schools, and or people that want an easy and enjoyable read.
