Before School

 Bullying

Day, November 5, Holly Goli, contributor to the 20 Minutes Books reading group, recommends

Blacklisted

by Cole Gibsen, published in October 2015 by Hugo Roman editions.

Her favorite quote:

"Christy Holder is a great girl."

It was a little line of love in the middle of a wall of hate.

An insignificant little line.

But it was a start.

And that was all that mattered.


Why this book?

  • Because if this novel is about bullying in school,

    it also shows how words can hurt people and sometimes backfire on us.

  • Because the heroine has her strengths and her weaknesses.

    Whether she is nice or bad, you get to know her over the pages and become aware of the world around us.

  • Because this novel also delivers a message of hope

    and the fact that we can all overcome bullying (at school or elsewhere).

  • Because the author is not hiding anything from us.

    We take a whole bunch of emotions in the face, whether positive or negative, and we end up questioning ourselves as well.


The essentials in 2 minutes

The plot.

 The day Regan discovers her texts and private messages plastered on the walls of the school, her life is turned upside down.

Vacheries, lies, insults, manipulations: everything is exposed to the eyes of all.

She goes from being a princess to being an outcast.

We turn our backs on him and make him go through hell.

Characters.

 Regan, the heroine and daughter of a senator.

Nolan, a mysterious young man who is Regan's only ally in this hell or Amber and Christy, the cheerleaders, Regan's ex-friends.

Places.

 The story takes place mainly in the heroine's high school.

The time.

 The story takes place in our time.

The author.

 Cole Gibsen is an American author who specialized in literature for young adults.

This book was read with

 great emotion.

I saw myself again at Regan's age and I took a slap as school bullying has evolved in recent years.

I became aware of many things with this reading to the point of making it one of my struggles as a teacher and raising awareness among the students.
