Posted Audiobook Summary

From John David Anderson, author of the acclaimed Ms. Bixby’s Last Day, comes a humorous, poignant, and original contemporary story about bullying, broken friendships, and the failures of communication between kids.

In middle school, words aren’t just words. They can be weapons. They can be gifts. The right words can win you friends or make you enemies. They can come back to haunt you. Sometimes they can change things forever.

When cell phones are banned at Branton Middle School, Frost and his friends Deedee, Wolf, and Bench come up with a new way to communicate: leaving sticky notes for each other all around the school. It catches on, and soon all the kids in school are leaving notes–though for every kind and friendly one, there is a cutting and cruel one as well.

In the middle of this, a new girl named Rose arrives at school and sits at Frost’s lunch table. Rose is not like anyone else at Branton Middle School, and it’s clear that the close circle of friends Frost has made for himself won’t easily hold another. As the sticky-note war escalates, and the pressure to choose sides mounts, Frost soon realizes that after this year, nothing will ever be the same.

Required reading for all middle school students, teachers, administrators and parents. "You find your people and you protect each other from the wolves" ~ that statement alone sets the tone for this searing commentary on middle school, friendship, bullying and the power of words. I flat out cried with about 10 minutes left in the book (no spoilers, I promise) and rejoiced at Anderson's ability to show us light amidst the harsh reality he portrays in this story. It's funny, it's heartbreaking, it's educational and most of all it's REAL. It doesn't offer a magic bullet to stop bullying, but it can and will open conversations - this books needs to be read widely and immediately. And then felt and mulled over. And then discussed and written about. Mandatory middle school library and classroom purchase. Would be an excellent choice for an all-school read.I received a digital ARC of this title for review - all opinions are my own.

Powerful story for middle school. It's the beginning of MS and who isn't scared about finding your tribe? It's more than that though. This is a story for all the kids who are marginalized just because they don't fit into what bullies perceive is the norm. It's about being compassionate, empathetic, finding acceptance, and being aware of what is going on around you and sticking up for what is kind. I ❤️ this quote, "Words are ghosts that can haunt you forever." This would make for a great read aloud.

I loved this book, and I definitely recommend it. It mostly focuses about verbal bullying in school. And how it impacts on people. And also how you can stop it and stand up for others.

4.5 for sure. It was such a good book about friendship and how friendships can evolve. I didn't ugly cry but I was pretty damn close

After reading Posted, and having read the author's Ms. Bixby's Last Day, I think that John David Anderson will have to go on my list of favorite authors! His main character is a self-deprecating nerd with a funny, snarky voice who narrates his middle school's all-out war using...post-it notes. The book deals with bullying, fitting in, the changes to family and friendships with lots of heart, humor, and hope.

"Keep your head up. Keep your eyes forward. And don't let go."-RoseJust that saying helped bring this story to life and brought all of them in the "tribe" out of their misery. This quote not only allowed Rose to be able to fit into school, but it also helped remind the protagonist, "Frost" (which is his nickname), who his true friends were and even in the hardest circumstances, he was able to stay true to his friends. I find that hard to do sometimes in real life. When some people leave you to befriend others because of a new friend you have will hurt and most people would be mad at that individual, Frost was calm and he always found his "tribe" and made sure they stayed together even during the hardest times.

“You find your people and you protect each other from the wolves.”“Words accumulate and once they’re free there’s no taking them back. You can do an awful lot of damage with a handful of words... Some words can break you to pieces.... but that’s not all. Words can be beautiful. They can make you feel things you’ve never felt before. Gather enough words and they can stick those same pieces back together.”

The theme of this book is to think about what you say and the effects of what you say.This book shows this because the kids of Branton Middle School start posting sticky notes for each other around school, when cell phones are banned however, not all of the notes are kind and leave some kids with their feelings hurt
