So, I don't usually do YA books, but the homeschooling angle drew me in. This was much better than I expected it to be--not the pat Hollywood-esque plot that I had anticipated but rather an interesting meditation on anonymity and free speech. (This would be good for YA book groups, although you should be aware that there is a touch of PG-13 sex and language.) The ending did get a little Hollywood, though.
The publisher provided me with a digital review copy of this book.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.
