About This Book

It follows Paisley Hanover, a high school sophomore who creates an anonymous alter ego, Miss UnPleasant, to critique her school's rigid hierarchy. While her intentions are rooted in a desire for authenticity, the story explores how even well-meaning 'truth-telling' can spiral out of control. This is an excellent choice for navigating the complexities of peer pressure and the ethics of social influence. It validates the frustration of being pigeonholed while offering a cautionary tale about the consequences of hiding behind a digital or anonymous persona. The tone is humorous and relatable, making it an accessible entry point for discussing integrity and the impact of our words on others.
