About this ebook
Told from dual points of view, this novel takes readers into the world of private middle-schoolers as they struggle to reveal what their teacher did . . .
"Riveting and timely, this shocking slice-of-life drama is sure to keep pages turning."—Publishers Weekly
Three junior high school girls—Jenna, Suzanne, and Claire—best friends at Oakdale Middle School, finally summon the courage to speak up about their music teacher, Frederick Mattero.
What happens next is chaos. Parents are called. A teacher is accused and attacked. The gossip mill churns like mad. And police arrive to question other students, beginning with Mr. Mattero’s eighth-grade daughter, Melody, a quiet girl known for her poetry.
Are the three girls simply lying? Did Mr. Mattero do anything inappropriate? And as another girl enters the picture, a complicated situation grows even more complex.

This is a forced read from when I was a young teen, and back then I probably thought this was an okay must read for class, or whatever. I can't remember. But thinking back now, in my twenties... this is just a horrible way to go about sexual assault culture. The girls are clueless toward the consequences even though they fully understand that what they did was wrong. Certainly don't make your kids or friends read it. Poorly written and a rush to the finish. In the end, who cares?
