The story of a cyber-prank gone viral
Cyber bullying is a huge problem worldwide. Lives are more mobile by the second.
And seems like the internet has become the air that we're breathing today.

Gray Zone
by Veronica R. Tabares
In this award-winning book by Seattle writer Veronica R. Tabares, the victim of a cyber-prank gone viral, Autumn, was forced to transfer schools--not exactly what she wanted to do as a sophomore. But what choice did she have when all her personal information was posted all over the web?
Feathered Quill reviewed Gray Zone as "an excellent read for both young adults and adults (...) and the writer has done a brilliant job of creating a story that is loving, ediucational and sorely needed".
Determined to make the best of her situation, Autumn decides to reinvent herself as the outgoing, popular, not-at-all-shy girl she'd always wanted to be.
But even the best plans go awry and Autumn fails to change the old habits that had given her that shy girl reputation in the first place. So when she learns that her best friend, Sophie Rose, is transferring to her new school she's relieved, until Sophie starts keeping her distance.
Autumn finds herself adrift without the support of her best friend. But when tragedy shakes her world she stops feeling sad. Now she's angry--and she's determined to put a stop to this cyber-torture and bullying of herself and the people she loves in this powerful and poignant novel.
