Want to Go Private?
by Sara Darer Littman (August 2011)

When Abby meets Luke online, she can’t believe her luck. He’s nice. He’s funny. He listens to her and he thinks she’s pretty. He even gets jealous of other guys, which is adorable. Without Luke, Abby’s not sure how she’d make it through her first year of high school. Everyone, including her mom and her best friend, Faith, tells Abby that if she just made more of an effort, she’d be having fun instead of dreading each and every day as if it’s a prison sentence. But there’s nothing fun about being the lowest link in the social food chain.

Abby knows she’s not supposed to chat with random guys online. But Luke isn’t random, and he isn’t a stranger. Best of all, he really loves her. So what if she never goes out with her friends anymore and her grades are slipping? All she needs is Luke. Luke is her secret, and she’s his — it’s perfect that way. So when Luke suggests that they meet each other in person, Abby agrees. And then she’s gone. Missing. Without a trace. And everyone is left to put together the pieces. If they don’t, they’ll never see Abby again. {taken from goodreads.com}

You hear about real life stories like this one happening all the time.  It is so scary what teenagers have access to these days.  The thought alone creeps the hell out of me.  Just because you're in the comfort of your own home, sitting behind a computer screen does NOT make you safe!  If anything it opens you up to being even more vulnerable.  The internet is a scary, scary place.  Full of creeptastic people! (I promise I am not one of them!)  Though I'm sure this book will rile a few feathers, I still want to read it.  What about you?


What are you "waiting on" this Wednesday??
