[Tina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short book with a message on bullying.

Considering the length, the author did a good job of fleshing out Mason and Denise.

Enjoyed the writing style.

Bullying, retaliation and insight.

Considering how vicious these bullies were, I'm not sure why they cared so much about such a little video.
