Product Description
We are launching our exciting new Point Paperbacks imprint with this novel from acclaimed author Donna Cooner, about the way we live our lives -- and lies -- on social media.
Skye's social media game is always on point. Until her best friend, Asha, films an embarrassing video of Skye at a sleepover and posts it online. But Asha quickly deletes the post, so everything's okay. Right?
Then Skye gets an anonymous message.
Someone has texted her a screenshot from the video. This person threatens to share the shocking photo online . . . unless Skye does whatever they say.
Skye's perfect image -- and privacy -- are suddenly in jeopardy. What will Skye do to keep the screenshot under wraps? And who is trying to ruin her life?
Review
Praise for Worthy:
"Cooner's book addresses real issues in teens' lives -- Internet culture, online apps, communication, dating -- in a way that is relatable. Themes of self-esteem and online bullying are woven throughout, but Linden's growth into a more confident young woman demonstrates the value of not judging yourself by other people's standards. This title will have wide appeal; it is timely and easy to read." --

My phone buzzes in my pocket. I pull it out. Weird. It's a text without a name or number attached.
How can you do that? It that even possible?
The message says, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU, SKYE, AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS IT.
I'm confused. Normally, I would just delete something like this, but they know my name. It's not some random spam, but it doesn't look like any text I've ever seen before. Maybe it's the interview committee, although it seems like a really strange way to contact me. Anot
