Raves & reviews:
Praise for Screenshot:"Told in alternating viewpoints, the novel raises numerous real issues in the lives of teenagers — popularity, dating and body image, family issues, socio-economic differences and their resulting tensions, personal aspirations, trust, and maintaining one's online reputation. A timely and relevant read." — Kirkus Reviews"The plot moves along at a compulsively readable pace. . . . the lessons about phone use, and how Internet exposure and privacy affects one's sense of self-worth, are significant and important. Of equal value are the complex relationships in Skye's life. . . . More than just a quick read, this suspenseful contemporary title will be popular with teens." — School Library Journal
