Deepfake

If you see it and hear it, it's proof....or is it? Fascinating and a bit terrifying, I loved this gripping story with characters I cared about. Kept me guessing till the very end!

It grabs you immediately but really picks up towards the middle. The ending is not very good but it is still worth your time

While I was browsing on Scholastic for my children, I have seen this book, and it kept calling for me to read. It sounded good, and honestly, it is a teenage read. It was not all that juicy; besides, who was behind the rumor, has it? This is one of those reads you could read in one sitting because it was good, and you want to know who is behind the rumor mill. I have to say I was very interested in who was being the website Rumor Has It, and when we find out, I want to say around the 250-page mark, I was very impressed that the author could keep that secret without dropping hints. How were these teenagers remember anything from weeks and day ago, especially if they are all thinking about colleges and what not? That was kind of hard to deal with, I literally felt like we were playing clue, and it was Colonel Mustard in the Library when trying to figure out who posted the video. I think The author could have updated this a little bit better. I will say the over repeating of being grounded drove me batty. We know MJ, but it is what it is; you don't have to mention it a million times. When we find out who is being the rumor mill, I wanted to know more about why this person did that to people that this person knew. I mean, I know gossip is gossip, but in the end, people are friends.

This was a chilling premise for a book, and it really made me think about technology and how people use it! I did guess who made the video, but in this case my suspicions made me read even faster because I wanted to see if I was right. I also appreciated that this book is clean, with only mild swearing. I love good suspense novels but have been having a difficult time finding ones that don’t have a lot of swear words in them; this one happily fit the bill and I read it as fast as I could! I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to reading more books by this author!Content:Mild swearingClean romance, mention of gay couples in gossip posts but no details given

Excellent work again from Ms Littman. She never fails to disappoint. Educational story telling for young people at its best.
