Cut - E-book - ePub

All Spencer Hollis wants for her 13th birthday are highlights for her boring hair. Her dad and stepmom hate the results and punish Spencer by forcibly cutting her hair short. She's teased and bullied at school; her attempts to hide under a wig end disastrously when the wig is snatched off and tossed around the cafeteria. Spencer's best friend is ghosting her; her photo is all over social media, her mom's accusing her dad of child abuse; and a pack of mean girls is harassing her to quit the school musical, which, ironically is Rapunzel.  As things spiral out of control, Spencer decides to run away from home--a choice that may save her sanity--or endanger her life.   "Funny, fresh, and wildly entertaining, Cut illuminates the devastating effect of social media in the TikTok age." ARC review"The Mean Girls in this story go beyond mean to vicious.
And the new wife adds claws to the Evil Stepmom trope." ARC review"Twists and turns galore, great backup characters, and a plot that zips along." ARC review"Any kid who's ever endured bullying or public embarrassment will sympathize with Spoon."  ARC review"Cut explores the struggle between parents and kids: who gets to decide on the way you look?" ARC review"The weirdo girls called Untouchables were great--would love to see them spun off into their own book."
