What Happened to Rachel Riley? | Claire Swinarski
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
In this engrossing and inventive contemporary middle grade novel that's Where'd You Go Bernadette? with a #MeToo message, an eighth grader uses social media posts, passed notes, and other clues to find out why a formerly popular girl is now the pariah of her new school. Anna Hunt may be the new girl at East Middle School, but she can already tell theres something off about her eighth-grade class. Rachel Riley, who just last year was one of the most popular girls in school, has become a social outcast. But no one, including Rachel Riley herself, will tell Anna why. As a die-hard podcast enthusiast, Anna knows theres always more to a story than meets the eye. So she decides to put her fact-seeking skills to the test and create her own podcast around the question that wont stop running through her head: What happened to Rachel Riley? With the entire eighth grade working against her, Anna dives headfirst into the evidence. Clue after clue, the mystery widens, painting an even more complex story than Anna could have anticipated. But theres one thing shes certain of: If youre going to ask a complicated question, you better be prepared for the fallout that may come with the answer.

When 8th grader Anna moves to a new town, she is brought to social awareness by trying to uncover a mystery - why Rachel Riley, who used to be well-liked, has become a pariah. Plot is built with excerpts of podcasts, emails, websites, texts. Well done
