Scrawl by Mark Shulman

3.0

This book had surprised me in both a good and bad way. I saw this book and thought it would be similar to but it both and was not; if that makes any sense. This book does provide the side of the bully with background of his home life and his circle of friends but nothing else. I though this book will provide a psychology exploration into why a teenager will and/or does bully other teenagers. Instead the book is more of a journal (an assignment) of why Tod Munn is in detention. There is also subplots and small stories about Tod and his life. Towards the end of the book is were I felt I understood where Shulman was going with the book. Along with the conclusion of the subplots and shift in the school ecosystem from Tod's point of view.
It is really is not a bad book, I can see how teenagers in middle and high school would read this book for an assignment in school.
