The Truth About Truman School

The Truth About Truman School by Dori Hillestad Butler

When Zebby and Amr started their website, truthabouttruman.com, they only wanted it to be a place for kids to be able to write the real story of what went on at their school, not what the teachers wanted to hear. But it didn't take long for them to learn that "It's different online. You can say or do whatever you want online because noone has to know it's you saying or doing those things. And you don't actually have to face the person you're being mean to." (p. 74) Once the anonymous poster beings to target Lilly, things spiral quickly out of control. The Truth About Truman School paints a realistic picture of the impact of cyber bullying on an entire school, and should be read by every middle school student.
