The Revealers is the best book out there for middle schoolers who struggle with bullying—and for everyone who works with them, cares about them, and wants to help.

That's what you'll hear from school librarians, teachers, guidance counselors—and, most of all, from kids—at the hundreds of schools that have worked with The Revealers, Doug Wilhelm's novel (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2003) for young adults:

"This is an inspiring book about sticking up for yourself and being brave. I believe every kid should read this," writes Emily, 12, of Jericho, Vermont.

"Fun, truthful and realistic," adds Christina, 13, of Danvers, Mass.

"When my class read The Revealers, it was very addictive and I finished early," writes Brian, 12, of San Jose, Calif. "Now I'm reading it to my 18-year-old sister and my mom, and they are begging for more."

"Every page and chapter rings true with the angst, isolation, drama, confusion, and humor of middle school kids trying to find their way through the cruel and complex social order of early puberty," writes National Board-Certified Teacher Patricia Worsham in Lynchburg, Virginia.

"My teenage daughter and I highly recommend this book—not only for middle school students but for parents and teachers," writes Becky Carlson, coordinator of the Sussex County (N.J.) Coalition for Healthy and Safe Families. "My advice, after you read it: pass it on, and share your thoughts with family and friends!"

The Revealers is more than just a realistic and suspenseful YA novel ... It's a powerful tool for adults who want to address bullying in their schools and communities. It's a safe springboard for helping kids to open up and start talking about this problem. And for young people who are struggling with bullying in their lives, this book is a warm, lively friend.
