A compelling, age-appropriate #MeToo narrative for tweens. BackstoryBooks | Apr 1, 2024 | Anna Hunt begins a new school year at a new school. She isn't your normal student who seeks to fit in. She's comfortable in her own skin and wants to be friends with people who like her; she doesn't change to be accepted. She notices that Rachel Riley always sits alone. Looking at social media and information from the previous year, Anne can see that Rachel was one of the most popular students at the school. Now, no one will say her name or talk to her. There is a contest to attend a podcast summer institute that Anna really wants to attend, so she decides to create a podcast titled "What Happened to Rachel Riley?" With each interview, the reader learns a bit more about Rachel. The students at East Middle School are friendly. Several of the "popular" girls invite Anna to different activities. No one seems mean. The boys are weird, of course, as it's middle school, but Anna enjoys meeting the girls. She pushes social boundaries, however, by constantly asking about Rachel Riley. They begin to tire of Anna's focus and want her to just get over it and just be friends. Eventually, the truth does come out. Not to give anything away, but there are certain books girls need to read. This novel is one of them. Society teaches girls to put up with silliness, but in reality, girls should fight back for their own agency and rights. The book is a page turner; it's interesting and keeps you wanting to know more. I did get annoyed some with Anna because she seemed pushy and seemed to ignore social cues.

Activity idea: Create your own "un-essay" on a topic that you care about (  ) juliasmith22 | Mar 1, 2024 | Anna Hunt is the new girl at East Middle School, but it doesn’t take her long to notice former popular girl, Rachel Riley, is now the social outcast no one talks to, or about. As a lover of podcasts, Anna decides to create her own podcast around the question, “What Happened to Rachel Riley?”. Told through first person narration from Anna, emails, texts, notes, podcast transcripts, letters, and flyers compiled together through Anna’s journal in finding out the truth. I really enjoyed this book and the conversation it brings up for the middle grade readers. As Anna kind of discovers - harassment is still harassment, even if it’s meant to be “funny” or “a game”. This also gives these girls the courage to speak up and out about anything that’s not right. I’m a little grippy about the ending though, cause I felt like it was super rushed Overall though, I will be recommending this novel to so many - middle grade, YA, and adult readers alike! It’s an important message, and with all the different types of format that the reader gets information from, it keeps your attention.

HTML: In this engrossing and inventive contemporary middle grade novel that's Where'd You Go Bernadette? with a #MeToo message, an eighth grader uses social media posts, passed notes, and other clues to find out why a formerly popular girl is now the pariah of her new school. Anna Hunt may be the new girl at East Middle School, but she can already tell there's something off about her eighth-grade class. Rachel Riley, who just last year was one of the most popular girls in school, has become a social outcast. But no one, including Rachel Riley herself, will tell Anna why. As a die-hard podcast enthusiast, Anna knows there's always more to a story than meets the eye. So she decides to put her fact-seeking skills to the test and create her own podcast around the question that won't stop running through her head: What happened to Rachel Riley? With the entire eighth grade working against her, Anna dives headfirst into the evidence. Clue after clue, the mystery widens, painting an even more complex story than Anna could have anticipated. But there's one thing she's certain of: If you're going to ask a complicated question, you better be prepared for the fallout that may come with the answer. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
