Exposure

by Patricia Murdoch

tagged: bullying, self-esteem & self-reliance, values & virtues
Description

Julie is tired of being tormented at school, tired of not fitting in and being the butt of jokes.

When Julie's brother brings home a camera with images of her chief tormentor in a compromising situation, she sees a way to level the playing field. When her attempt at turning the tables goes wrong, she is left even more on the outside and struggling to do the right thing.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for teen readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read! Available in Spanish as Revelación.

“Revenge is at best bittersweet and Murdoch takes this reality into the heart of high school with characters YAs can relate to.”

— KLIATT

"There is a sophistication about this book that works well to gain and maintain interest without preaching to the converted. There's more show than tell here, and that speaks volumes."
