You Go First by Erin Entrada Kelly

I think this is a good book to have at an elementary or middle school library.  Two students from different places play scrabble online and become friends.  Bullies and family problems are threaded through the story.  Ben is both physically and verbally bullied.  What gets me is that adults aren't noticing even when there are clues to point out that there are problems.  And Ben covers up the bulling.  As I think about this book, the adults are presented as people that the children don't go to share problems. That the relationship isn't there, either at the school setting or the family setting.  Something to think about as you read the book.
