(4) 4-6 After eighth-graders Zebby and Amr launch an online newspaper to generate articles more controversial than those "that made you go rah, rah, isn't our school great?" an anonymous student uses the website to cyber-bully a classmate. Zebby, Amr, and a handful of other kids (in-crowd and outcast) alternate as narrators; all learn overly loud-and-clear lessons about bullying and free speech.
