BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Four kids, two sets of siblings, grew up together, but went their separate ways at the beginning of middle school. Gus is now a star soccer player, Harper is a theater (read drama) queen, Luke’s autism occupies much of his time and attention, and Sophie has her own friends, but lacks the will to commit to anything. When their parents leave them all together one night, they end up making a video that goes viral. Luckily, they were all anonymous, because their parents would be so mad if they found out. The group realizes that they like making viral videos. But can the pressure of staying viral also tear the group apart?
A very cute book about the toxic culture of life online and about friendships in general. Baden very skillfully weaves our four very different characters together, giving them each ways to shine. Harper is quite over the top, but she is the drama queen.
The kids default white. One set of siblings has Moms.
