Gr 9 Up—When someone anonymously posts a compromising picture on Twitter, four students' lives will be forever changed. Theo, Sasha, Jude, and Parker are now expelled from school for all the wrong reasons. This unlikely group of high schoolers put their differences aside, and find comfort in one another's company. Theo is set on finding out who sabotaged his and his friend's lives. Throughout this investigation, the teen uncovers more than he anticipated. With all of this fragile information at their disposal, the group of expellees needs to figure out what to do with their newfound knowledge. This fast-paced and suspenseful young adult novel is full of humor, romance, loss, and enlightenment. At times the plot is slightly rushed and underdeveloped, but it doesn't take away from the engagement of the story. This book contains some mild language and mature situations.
VERDICT Patterson and Raymond don't disappoint. A good purchase for young adult shelves.
