What if everyone at your school suddenly stopped talking to you? That is a real threat for the students at Sherman Mack’s school - Harewood Tech. It’s called Defiling. Someone posts a girl’s picture on the bathroom mirror and writes a ‘D’ beside their name. In no time at all the word will spread through the school and it’s like the girl doesn’t even exist.
What if you start to think that your friend will be the next one who will be Defiled? What would you do?
Sherman Mack finds himself in just this situation in Susan Juby’s Getting the Girl. Check out this hilarious book to find out whether or not his undercover investigation stops the Defiling at his school.
