A quick read - very well told story of a 13 year old girl's experience with an older man in chat rooms her via the internet's early days (1996-7) before the dangers of internet chat rooms were realized. The last third of the book was riveting - I especially liked how Katie delved into her feelings and how she explained the unfairness of her treatment by family, classmates and others after all was said and done This last chapter was powerful. A must read for preadolescent and adolescent girls - although I think the dangers of internet chat rooms are much more understood today... so much of this has been in the news in the past few years.
