As you would expect, Rebel
Bully Geek Pariah by Erin Jade Lange involves 4 characters: Andi, York,
Boston, Sam. Each is struggling with his or her own issues, but in a story
reminiscent of the Breakfast Club they form an unlikely band. Lange,
author of Butter, provides some very clever writing and speaks to the idea
of kids feeling alone, isolated and misunderstood. She often writes about bullying and
acceptance of oneself and others. Late middle school and early high school students
will enjoy her latest work, an action packed thriller.
Rebel Bully Geek
Pariah is definitely a mystery
and, as such, will pull readers through the story. Along the way, they will need to suspend
belief …. This story held my attention – as long as I was willing to believe
that NONE of them would call a parent during a very crazy and dangerous
overnight adventure or that they would not turn on each other when they steal a
car, hit a cop, and find a million dollars’ worth of drugs. These antics will be even more intriguing for
our students since they take place in Illinois. I loved the mystery, the
twists, and the action -- read the entire book in two sittings.
