I like this book because it talks about our behaviors to other people in school. It focuses on cyberbullying because Lilly was bullied by a group of people in her school. This book tells us to not hurt or harm other people, and cyberbullying is really bullying. Words and texts can hurt people’s feelings too. When we see people are bullying other people, when we see them we should put it to an end immediately. This book is about Zebby and Amr forming creating a website for the school. Then cyberbullying happened on the website, and the situation got worse and worse until Lilly, the person who was bullied, ran away from home. This book teaches us about what is right and what is wrong.

When Zebby and Amr create the website thetruthabouttruman.com, they want it to be honest. They want it to be about the real Truman Middle School, to say things that the school newspaper would never say, and to give everyone a chance to say what they want to say, too. But given the chance, some people will say anything—anything to hurt someone else. And when rumors about one popular student escalate to cruel new levels, it's clear the truth about Truman School is more harrowing than anyone ever imagined.
