Publisher Description
Throwing light on a dark problem
Parkland Middle School is a place the students call Darkland, because no one in it does much to stop the daily harassment of kids by other kids. Three bullied seventh graders use their smarts to get the better of their tormentors by starting an unofficial e-mail forum at school in which they publicize their experiences. Unexpectedly, lots of other kids come forward to confess their similar troubles, and it becomes clear that the problem at their school is bigger than anyone knew. The school principal wants to clamp down on the operation, which she does when the trio, in their zealousness for revenge, libel a fellow student in what turns out to have been a setup. Now a new plan of attack is needed . . .
This suspenseful story of computer-era underground rebellion offers fresh perspectives on some of the most enduring themes in fiction for young readers.
The Revealers is a 2004 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Customer Reviews
This book was OK.
This book had a lot of bad words and a lot of bullying. Sometimes I had to put the book down for a second to think about what just happened. It was confusing. But at the same time, the book was a great lesson. I would read it but just remember that there are a lot of bad words.
I HATE IT
This book is way to boring to even stand, But in the end it gave a good lesson to end on and i'm just happy the beginning is over and now the book so now I can read any book I want
HORRIBLE
It was so boring I couldn't stand it. The only reason I read it was because my school makes everyone going into seventh grade read it. I mean I would have to put the book down and use ancient satanic rituals to curse my teachers and principle for the boredom and pain this book has brought me. Would give 0 stars if I could.
