A review by librariann
Poison Ivy by Amy Goldman Koss
3.0
Ages 10+
When Ivy spills to her Social Studies teacher about how three popular girls (the Evil Three) have been treating her, her teacher decides that the class needs to hold a mock civil trial. This book, told from multiple points of view of the participants in the trial, explores what happens during the two weeks. There's no cookie-cutter happy ending, and the don't upset the boat mentality of middle school prevails, much to the surprise of the teacher (and a few students as well).
