Nothing to See Here

How far is too far?

Between her best friend ditching her and her parents taking away her phone, Winnie’s year is off to a rough start. But eighth grade gets even more complicated when she’s named on the Not Hot list by an anonymous online account.

Gia’s on the Hot list, but she’d rather not be. There’s already enough chatter about her online—how she thinks she’s smarter and better than everyone else, and lately, that she’s secretly dating Mateo.

Mateo isn’t dating Gia, but he’s had a crush on her for over a year now. But kids online are saying they have nothing in common, and he doesn’t want to make her uncomfortable.

Mateo’s best friend Levi doesn’t mind that he’s not the one in the spotlight. He’s got enough going on at home.

And when an anonymous post takes things too far, these four very different kids team up to start their own experiment, posting fake gossip on social media to show what can happen when online rumors get out of control, in this high stakes and heartfelt story from highly acclaimed author Barbara Dee.
