They just wanted to tell the truth.

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.

Great read, highly recommended!!

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 13, 2009

Butler's novel about bullying in middle school is so very close to the truth. From cyberbullying to flat out name calling, Butler offers an unflattering, yet true-to-life, view of middle school social trends. More to the point, Butler focuses on how cruel, self-centered, and uncaring many pre-teens and teens are. Butler also includes the fact that many adults either deny that such hatred occurs or blindly ignore bullying...

Surprisingly fresh & compelling

By Thriftbooks.com User, June 18, 2009

'The Truth About Truman School' is a YA book about middle school, and cliques, and cyber-bullying. Two 8th graders - Zebby and Amr - start a website that is supposed to talk about the real things that happen at their school (Zebby is frustrated that the school newspaper is only allowed to publish puff pieces). Quickly, though, the site becomes a forum for bashing one of the 'popular girls' ... much cruelty and angst ensue...

In tune with today's teens!

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 21, 2009

This book is right on point with what is going on today with cyberbullying and things of that nature. It could be a real eye opener for some parents/adults to have no idea about the things that go on online. It also enables parents/adults to understand som e of the situations/scenarios and could allow them to watch for warning signs, etc. I think the book could be used as a tool as well for teens/pre teens. The storyline itself...

A teen-friendly glimpse into cyberbullying & its consequences

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 23, 2009

The Truth About Truman School approaches the subject of Cyberbullying in a a unique manner by presenting the story as an an amalgam of many points of view woven together by the fictional website's editor, Zebby Bower. Zebby tells us at the beginning of the presentation that her website had unintended consequences and that she's asked everyone involved to volunteer their side of the story in their own words and that she will...
