Passwords & Popularity: A Middle School Mystery About Group Chats, Leaked DMs, and Staying Safe Online
Middle school is already complicated.
Getting hacked makes it worse.
When 13-year-old Jada King transfers to Bayview Middle, she hopes to keep her head down, make a few friends, and avoid the usual drama. But when a mysterious account starts leaking private messages, exposing DMs, and sharing screenshots, everything spirals.
Phones are glitching. Friendships are falling apart.
And nobody knows who’s behind it.
Jada isn’t just the new girl. She’s a tech-smart thinker with a notebook full of clues, a deep sense of curiosity, and a feeling that the hacker might be someone much closer than anyone suspects. As Spring Fling approaches, Jada is running out of time to stop the final sabotage before someone’s secrets are exposed in front of the entire school.
But this isn’t just about popularity.
It’s about control. And someone is playing dirty.
Passwords and Popularity is a smart, suspenseful, and empowering read that mixes middle school drama with real lessons about online safety. It’s the book every teen should read before their next click, post, or DM.
If you’ve ever dealt with fake profiles, group chat messiness, or digital pressure to fit in, this book was written for you.
