Paulie goes to a class every lunchtime at school called Period 8. Quite different from every other class he takes, this one has a teacher he really admires, and the freedom to discuss whatever the class wants as they prepare for life beyond school. And then one of their classmates goes missing. The ramifications are huge, scary and dangerous as the group comes face to face with organised bullying that could lead to death or worse. This book made me think, hard, about what people are really like underneath. Are the good guys truly good? Are the wimps really as weak as they seem? This is a fantastic book and I strongly recommend it.
Who would enjoy this? This one has a bit of the psychological thriller about it, so if you want a book that makes you think and is completely absorbing, try it.
