Jujube is asked out by Brent. When she snubs him in the back seat of his car, the next day he spreads rumours around the school about how "easy" she is. Soon it gets out of hand and there is graffiti on her locker and in the toilets. Jujube and her best friend decide to do something to stop it by filming it all and creating a powerful presentation in front of the school. Slightly dated because there is no mention of phones anywhere in the text, but still an important story about standing up for yourself. ( ) Booktalk: Reputation. How does one earn a reputation? Sometimes you earn it on your own. If you're the kind who gets good grades, always helps people or is cool with everyone, no matter who they are, then you've probably got a good reputation. Sometimes though, people give you your reputation, whether you like it or not. It's like Jujube's friend tells her: "It's a power rush sort of thing. They know they can turn you into anything they want. Unfortunately, Jujube finds out people at school have turned her into something she's not. How will Jujube fight a huge lie that everyone else wants to believe? Bright yellow lockers with red graphitti shouting "SLUT" on the cover will cause teens to pick up Sticks and Stones. The high interest content in the book will keep them reading. Jujube is a freshman in highschool. On a Friday, she attends a dance with a guy from school. When she returns to class the following week, rumors had been spread about just how far Jujube goes on a first date. The book describes the evolution of her feelings from embaressment to anger to fighting back. The Orca Soundings series is written for low-level readers. Although younger children might be able to read the book, the concepts are appropriate for teenagers. Recommended ages: 13+. Sticks and Stones was an interesting book. It was about a girl who was with a guy one night and everybody at her school found out and started calling her names and wrote her name all over the bathrooms. The girl got really upset and told her mom. Her mom then went to the school's principle and told him to erase everything in the bathrooms but the principle said they didn't have enough money so the girl herself, went into the boy's bathrooms and looked at all the names in there and gathered together the girls whose name was written down and they made a little club and erased it themselves and that was the end. I thought it was an interesting book while i was reading it but i thought it had a bad ending. Part of the Orca series: high interest stories for teens with reading levels from 2.0 to 4.5. Accelerated Reader quiz available. Interesting cover may be offensive to some but will attract others. The book cover features a picture of a locker bank with one of the lockers vandalized with the word 'slut' in red paint. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
