Walking up to the school gazing at the building that looked like a castle sitting on top of a hill, Jessica became more excited than she had been all summer. Finally, her first day as an official high school student was about to start. Jessica knew that this was going to be the most wonderful experience she would conquer as a teenager. Little did she know, the moment she entered the auditorium, she was marked. She never realized the drastic turn her life was about to take. Step into Jessica's world and follow her journey on how she learned the hard way.
This story grabbed me right from the beginning. The main character, Jessica, endures a great deal of bullying from fellow high school students and is unable to make it stop. She is afraid to report this abuse to her mother and school officials. It continues until the verbal bullying turns physical. Her solution is extreme.
The It is a very real problem for today's youth. I think this is a good book for kids 12 years and older. It teaches a valuable lesson. I would recommend this to parents.
This was a quick read about about how a 14 year old girl's life is affected by bullying. I really felt sorry for this child, but was somewhat confused about why she chose not to tell anyone that could help her, event in light of the threats.
This was a touching book. I read it in one sitting. If you have children this book will make you want to hug them tight and never let them go. Get this book for an emotional read.
