I liked Isabel and Zack a lot, but Eli was a tougher sell for me. ![]() This timely story from the author of Butter is a thrilling tale about the power of the internet, the young people who wield it, and the fine lines between bully and victim, justice and vengeance.Ĭhaos of Now took some directions I wasn’t expecting, and I really appreciated that about the story. ![]() Suddenly Eli finds himself in way over his head as his keystrokes start to have devastating consequences in the real world.
