This is What I Did

by Ann Dee Ellis

Summary: Something bad has happened to Logan, but the reader won't find out what until the end of this suspenseful novel. It involves his former best friend Zyler, and we know that Zyler is no longer a part of Logan's life. The incident causes Logan to be the subject of intense bullying, not only by his fellow middle school students, but by younger children, and even adults like his scout leader. While Logan works through his guilt and shame, we get clues that lead up to the revelation of what Logan saw and did that day. The story is told in the increasingly popular format of prose poetry, and includes pictures, notes, emails, and other forms of writing that keep the story moving quickly.

My thoughts: I was dying to know throughout this entire novel what the "incident" was. For most of the book it's not even entirely clear whether or not Zyler is even still alive. You won't be able to put this one down.
