LitPick Review
eBully is a book about a girl who is being bullied online. Nobody knows who the bully is because it's all on the computer. This had happened before, and the victim had tried to kill herself. Now, the vice principal hires a juvenile delinquent to find out more about it. Even combined with the efforts of the victim's friends, will they find the culprit?
Opinion:
The way I would describe eBully is unrealistic, despite the author's intention. First of all, the vice principal hires a juvenile delinquent. He's done tons of bad stuff, and yet, when the vice principal hires him, he all of a sudden turns into the good guy. Also, I think the bullying part was taken too seriously. It seems to me that bullying happens all the time in real life. Most kids learn too ignore it, and take it with a grain of salt. But really, trying to kill yourself? I understand it can get as serious as that, but the first victim had all of 3 sentences written to her before she committed suicide.
