LitPick Review
Gray Zone by Veronica R.Tabares is a book about a girl named Autumn who faces cyberbullying from a website a bunch of guys created. She transfers schools hoping to build a new social life. Her best friend, Sophie, is being bullied by people at school every day, so she transfers to the same school as Autumn. Autumn soon finds out that Sophie posted a comment on that website and doesn’t want anything to do with her. What is going to happen to their friendship? What will happen to Autumn and Sophie?
Opinion:
This book dealt with a serious conflict of cyberbullying and just bullying in general. However, the main character, Autumn, was kind of annoying at times, with her ‘in the mind’ pep talks and lack of confidence. There were some parts in the book that didn’t really fit in with the story. For example, the part about the stalker was random, and it did not have a whole lot of purpose with the actual storyline. Another example was the part about the math teacher’s car being stolen and then placed in the middle of the classroom. Besides these examples, the book was pretty good. This is because it was well written and you always wanted to know what was going to happen next. I recommend this great read!
