Book Synopsis

Amelia Bright wants to be the best at everything. But when it comes to popularity, she is dead last. No matter what she tries, she can’t shake her reputation as a maggoty nobody.

When she meets cute new boy Evan, Amelia wonders if he can help her lose her loser status. And in a moment of hope, she agrees to something she quickly regrets – something that goes viral at school. Now she’s not just called “maggot”, she’s a “bad influence” and worse. But Amelia’s determined not to let one mistake define her as she’s so much more than the image everyone sees online.

A powerfully real and funny new story from the rising queen of teen, about first kisses, learning to be true to yourself and how one click can last for ever.

Our Review Panel says...

This story focuses on a thirteen-year-old girl called Amelia. She is often bullied and considers herself unpopular at her school. Her dad coaches the local baseball team, and this brings her into contact with the local boys, including Evan, whom she falls head over heels in love with. Evan ignores Amelia in school but begins a relationship with her out of school. This has significant negative consequences for Amelia, as Evan encourages her to do things she knows aren’t right.

If you are looking for a book to promote lots of mature conversations around mobile phone use, bullying, coersion and the relationships between fathers and female children, then Bad Influence is a fantastic choice that teens will love.
