First of all, if you haven't read the first book, "The Snake Pit", I highly recommend you start by reading that one and then immediately follow with this one. A powerful story about a problem that is all too prevalent in our schools - bullying. As this author demonstrates, bullying is as serious problem that can have devastating, even deadly consequences.This is a riveting read that captured my attention right from the first page and tore my heart out. I read the book straight through without stopping; I simply couldn't put it down and I was in tears the entire time I was reading. The subject matter hits very close to home for me. It brought back a lot of painful memories of my own youth, when I was a targeted by bullies.I recommend these two books as must-reads for all teens and pre-teens and also for anyone who is a parent or who works in the educational system. Tragic stories like this happen far too often in real life and only by taking a proactive approach can we prevent these real-life tragedies.I give it five stars because that's the highest allowed but I would give it ten stars if I could!
