No one ever noticed James until the day he changed schools
and went to the American School for Mathematics and Science, a residential
school for gifted teens. James decides
to make up stories about his life at home and cultivate an image of a tough
guy, always looking for a fight, but reformed now. Most people believe him since no one knew him
from before. However, James starts
getting messages from someone online who clearly knows that James’s stories
aren’t true. James feels comfortable
telling this person a lot about who he really is but he doesn’t even know who
the person is he’s talking to. And as
close as he feels, he still isn’t ready to open up about who he really is and
what is really wrong. I really liked
this story. It felt completely real to
me and since it was set in my high school, it also really took me back to that
time. I wonder if I like it so much
because it’s really that good or because it was so easy for me to relate, but I
think it’s both, which means that I plan to start pushing this book on a lot of
the teens that come to the Library.
