Easy Target by Tim Shoemaker
A perfect, high-paced read for young adults dealing with bullying and the difficulties they face in school and the complications of social media. Easy Target starts out nice and slow, but in the best way, there isn’t too much action right away and for a YA/middle grade audience it has a nice pace.
