Review: Great story, tough subject matter

This is a really hard review to write.As a parent of high-school age kids, I found the subject matter very disturbing.  Several times I had to put the book down and take a emotional break from the unrelenting intensity.  Be prepared, the language and the cruelty will make your stomach turn.  I took some (false) salvation that I was reading "fiction."Having said all that, everyone SHOULD read this book.  Cyber-bullying and discrimination are realities that every parent needs to know about and "The Boxer Rebellion" is one way to educate people.My hat is off to the author for braving this deeply emotional subject matter.
