Is there a difference between a wish and a need? The high-school students in Nottawa, Wisconsin, join the newest, hottest networking site to try to get something
for nothing. Kaylee Dunham has a
definite need. She needs a kidney
for her brother. Her friend, Nate
Weakley, had her join the site to find a match for her brother’s kidney. Kaylee has to depend
on Nate because her classmates don’t like her, her mother doesn’t trust her,
and she is desperate to get a kidney for her brother. However, she soon comes to realize that someone knew the students’
secrets and could make her classmates act in outrageous ways. People are getting
hurt, buildings are burning, and Nate is kidnapped. Kaylee feels it is up to her to find the person or persons behind
the site.
This book will provide an insight into the dark side of the social media upsurge. It will also engage readers as Kaylee fights to win her mother’s trust and to answer the question of what or who is behind the website that is causing her classmates to become killers.
