A brutal look at girl bullying at its worst, set in a suburb of Vancouver. ( ) This was compulsive, if unpleasant, reading. In this story of teenage bullying, Carrie Mac draws a world where adults are uncaring or oblivious, and teenagers can inflict life-threatening damage. None of the main characters are perfect, even the ones you hope survive do appalling things to each other. This was a gripping story, and I very much wanted Zoe and April to find a way out of their impossible situation. I found the ending improbable, especially the adult collusion. The ending left me feeling miserable, and while I might recommend it to some people, I will not reread it. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When her mother suddenly moves them to a new town, Zoe is unhappy about leaving behind what passes for a normal life.

Unsure of herself and merely trying to fit in, Zoe is initiated, painfully, into the Beckoners, a twisted group of girls whose main purpose is to stay on top by whatever means necessary. Help comes from unlikely quarters as Zoe struggles to tear loose from the Beckoners without becoming a target herself, while also trying to save Aprilâ??or Dog, as she is calledâ??from further torment. A chilling portrait of the bullying and violence that is all too common in schools, The Beckoners illustrates the lure of becoming tormentor rather than victim, and the terrible price that can be exacted for standing up for what is Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
