In a Flash by Eric Walters

In a Flash by Eric Walters

“Is an event involving a mob ever a good thing?” is the statement you’ll read on the back cover of this book. Ian and Oswald take part of flash mobs because they’re fun! Julia thinks they’re stupid and pointless. The question is can they be a good thing? Yes, they can be a good thing as the three main characters confront their new principal and his controlling ways.

What this hi-low book lacks in character development, it makes up for with its message of the power of technology and freedom of speech. In this book, readers will realize that technology is powerful for organizing and communicating. However, it can also be a catalyst for disaster if used in the wrong way. Readers will find Julia’s use of Facebook leads to a school suspension, while Ian uses it to prove a point. This book will attract readers because of its focus on technology and school life.
