You against me / Jenny Downham

Watch the book trailer!

What is worse? Watching your sister suffer after she's assaulted or having a brother who is 'supposedly' responsible for hurting a girl? It's definitely a lose-lose situation. This story handles the two scenarios so realistically you feel like you are suffering along with Mikey and Ellie (but not enough to stop reading the book!). Great characters, terrific story but not a book you'd choose when you want to blob out, it's more the nail-chewing variety.

Who would enjoy this book? Anyone who is prepared to read about life-changing, nitty-gritty situations, that is, 'real life'. It's worth the read.
