"Poison Ivy" by Amy Goldman Koss is a mean girls type of book. In this book Ivy has been targeted and bullied for most of her school life. Everybody accepts it, even Amy who just tries to ignore what is going on around her. Enter a teacher who sees the injustice of this and holds a mock trial that will hopefully demonstrate that bad guys get what's coming to them. But the power of popularity is a force not to be reckoned with. There are many different narrators sharing their own points of view about the events and I think you will be surprised and maybe a bit outraged at the way the story unfolds. Not a totally satisfactory ending but lots of food for thought.What are you reading today?
