from Wattpad star Ann Valett. Chloe Whittaker is out for revenge.
Last year her best friend Monica's life was unceremoniously ruined
by the most popular students at their high school, so this year
Chloe plans to take each and every one of them down. She's traded
in her jeans and T-shirts for the latest designer clothes, erased
anything on social media that would tie her to Monica (and blow her
cover), and carefully figured out how she will befriend the members
of the clique, find out their deepest and darkest secrets, and
reveal them to the world. Chloe has the perfect plan . . . but
there's one thing she didn't prepare for. And that's falling for
someone she's determined to destroy. The closer she gets to
uncovering the secrets the in-crowd is determined to cover up, the
more she realizes that she is going to have to choose between
betraying her oldest friend or the boy who's captured her heart

Will Parks needs to man up. A man stands. A man fights. A man
bleeds. These are the first lessons you learn in a town where girls
are objects, words are weak and fists do the talking. Will's more
at home in the classroom than the gym, and the most important woman
in his life is his gran. So how can a boy who's always backed away
from a fight become the hero who saves the day? Because a disaster
is coming. One that Will can prevent. But only if he learns the
most important lesson of all: sometimes to step up, you have to man
down. A searingly powerful exploration of toxic masculinity,
perfect for fans of Juno Dawson or They Both Die at the End.
'Stylish, thought-provoking thriller territory . . . Highly
recommended' - The Irish Times 'Staggeringly good . . . had me
hanging on every word' Louisa Reid, author of Wrecked and Lies Like
Love 'Good books make you feel something. Great books change the
way you feel about everything. Man Down is a great book. No one is
writing about young men's lives with as much warmth, empathy and
humour as James is right now.' Samuel Pollen, author of The Year I
Didn't Eat 'Utterly compelling, completely original and will
undoubtedly be one of the standout books of 2022. An absolute must
read' - Adam Simcox, author of The Dying Squad 'An excellent look
at what it means to "be a man" amid a culture of peer pressure and
toxic masculinity while navigating desire and friendship. Loved
it.' - Anna Stephens, author of Godblind 'Emotionally complex, dark
and clever - a very unexpected, thoughtful and original book. I can
honestly think of no other YA quite like it.' - Gina Blaxill,
author of Saving Silence
Weakly Wormit had an appalling name and quite unkind parents. He
was also very small for his age. He was bullied at school
particularly after he accidentally dyed his hair green. Rescue came
in the shape of Isabelinda, a friend in his class at school and the
two of them embarked on an unexpected adventure. This involved
letting long locked up monsters escape from a forbidden shed. The
monsters then terrorised the village and tore out peoples hair
whatever colour it was. Only Wormit with his green hair appeared to
be unattractive to the monsters. Isabelinda and all the villagers
are left bald and frightened to go out in the street. Only Wormit
could roam the streets without being attacked. He had to find a
plan to capture and put them back in their shed. Eventually he had
an idea and he enticed them to attack a blonde wig which he had
obtained. With this aid he managed to imprison them again and he
buried the key of the shed so that it will not be found. He was now
the hero of the village. The villagers hair grew back. Wormit's
green hair faded. He was Isabelinda's best friend.
The girl in this story sees it happening, but she would never do
these mean things herself. Then one day something happens that
shows her that being a silent bystander isn't enough. Will she take
some steps on her own to help another kid? Could it be as simple as
sitting on the bus with the girl no one has befriended (and
discovering that she has a great sense of humor)? Resources at the
end of the book will help parents and children talk about teasing
and bullying and find ways to stop it at school.One child at a time
can help change a school. Since its release in May 2004, this book
has sparked Say Something weeks in schools from Maine to Shanghai.
It has been turned into plays, distributed to hundreds of kids at
conferences, read by principals on large screens, and rewritten by
students in several schools (Do Something! is a favorite title).
Most importantly, Say Something has helped start countless
conversations among kids and adults about teasing. We're
celebrating with this new edition, updated with a new cover and an
author's note. Fountas & Pinnell Level O
