Synopsis:

“Braiding a different twist on the old story of getting back at the school bullies, Wilhelm has created three characters with qualities that make them targets, but also make them capable of combining efforts and mounting a terrific, innovative defense . . . Will fascinate even reluctant readers.” —School Library Journal

“[Wilhelm] shines a harsh light on many facets of bullying and never, even at the novel's rosiest moments, implies that every bully is a good kid just waiting to be redeemed. Middle-schoolers will appreciate the honesty.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“The promise of the modern age is that information equals power, and in Wilhelm's entertaining and thoughtful tale, that notion is put to the test.” —Publishers Weekly

“Books like this make [readers] feel less alone.” —Booklist

“Using humor along with realistic examples, Wilhelm draws the reader into the world of middle school turmoil. An excellent book.” —SIGNAL
