Branton Middle School has a problem. At least the students do when the principal, Mr. Wittingham (or the Big Ham as he's known) bans all cell phones within the school. To compensate, four friends, Frost, Bench, Deedee and Wolf decide to use sticky notes that they attach to their lockers in order to communicate. The trend catches on and soon gets out of hand. To make matters worst (at least for some) a new girl comes to the school and disrupts the tight friendship the four boys have. The sticky note war escalates, the friendships are strained and before long Frost finds himself at the breaking point. Posted is a funny, touching look at surviving Middle School. Filled with awkward moments, true heartache and the strains that working families face on a day to day basis, I think a lot of tweens will really connect with this story. In the school in the UK that I work at, cell phones are not allowed at all. We are reading this with thirty 11 year old students and they are fascinated by American culture and schools in general so they are eating this up! Highly recommended, a nice read about friendship and what it means to be honest in this day and age.
