This is a fun book to read. The story is up-to-the-minute. A trio of friends decide to use social media to create interest in their fellow students to read To Kill a Mockingbird over the summer holidays.
Their plan is ingenious they will create a scarcity thereby making everyone really want to read the book. Their plots and plans and how they execute their plan and the consequences make for delightful reading.

When Lucy gets her summer reading list to prepare for high school she is thrilled to see included Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. But not everyone in her class is as zealous about reading this classic novel. Inspired by a recently deceased favourite teacher, Lucy and her best friends come up with dramatic and controversial methods of attracting attention to the book such as mis-shelving the novel in the bookstore, and creating a website to draw attention to their cause. However, things quickly start to spin out of control.

I’ve not read many children’s books that have successfully tapped into viral marketing as a theme. Paul dares to go where few have gone before, and the result is a story that takes risks. I can pretty much guarantee that even if you’ve read every other Harper Lee-related middle grade children’s book out there, you ain’t never seen nothing like what Acampora has in store for you here.
