Where the Bad Seeds Grow

Back in the 1980s and 1990s, the culture in high school wasn't much different than it is now. There has always been a ruling class of the painfully popular students and a peasant class of the outsiders and rejects. Some kids deal with bullying and teasing several times a day, and it can make it hard to realize that this phase in their life is such a small blip on the screen. But for Erica Cohen, she's about to get a quick education on how it's possible to go from being the most popular girl in school to being the most hated and despised person at Moore High School. With only two friends and an English teacher on her side, Erica navigates through her last year of high school struggling with a rapidly evolving identity, being bullied and harrassed every day by her ex-friends, and attempting to survive her suicidal thoughts as a result of these things--and much, much more.
