An insightful exploration of middle school bullying from multiple perspectives, by the award-winning author ofAnything But Typical.Elizabeth Moon grew up around dogs. Her mom runs a boarding kennel out of their home, so she’s seen how dogs behave to determine pack order. Her experience in middle school is uncomfortably similar.
Maggie hates how Elizabeth acts so much better than everyone else. Besides, she’s always covered in dog hair. And she smells. So Maggie creates a fake profile on a popular social networking site to teach Elizabeth a lesson.
What makes a bully, and what makes a victim? It’s all in the perspective, and the dynamics shift. From sibling rivalries to mean girl antics, the varying points of view in this illuminating novel from the award-winning author of Anything But Typical show the many shades of gray—because middle school is anything but black and white.

I will be the first one to tell you that I LOVE DOGS!! This has to be the third or forth books ive read on bullies in the past week! (I said I was on a roll!) Ok so this one I really REALLY LOVED! (yes she did write her review that way) The neat thing about this book is that we get to see all the sides to the issue. From the person who is bulling, the person getting bullied, to even the bystanders! We get to see it all! This book is also about revenge! And it really put in I think the word is perspective on what make a bully and what makes a victim! 5 Stars!
