I received this book in exchange for my honest review.  Having said that, the story line itself is excellent. The subject of bullying was addressed in a way that should open the eyes of adults as well as giving teens something to think about.  Bullying has gotten worse over the years since I was in school, which I think is in relation to how very little disciplinary authority teachers have today.  However, there are many, many cases where the teachers played favorites as to who got punished, as happened to Kirk in this story.  I believe every teacher needs to read this book.  I was put off by some of the typos, but it was worth the read.  I haven't read many books meant for teens, so some of the repetitive dialog was confusing, but very much in keeping with young people's communication skills. I would recommend this to young and old alike.
