![]() Bulling is a big thing that affects so many people’s lives in all sorts of negative ways, and I was afraid it was going to be a depressing story. I must admit, when I started reading Joshua’s Island, I was anticipating it to be heavy. And then she finds herself becoming attracted to him. However when she begins to get to know Joshua, and witnesses the behaviour he is subjected to, her heart goes out to him. When Eve gets paired up with Joshua permanently for science class, her dislike for him is evident. She has been made to ditch her old “dorky” friends and live a life in the popular crowd now. Eve has just been taken in by the most popular girl in school as her friend. He is constantly tormented both verbally, physically and by nasty rumours that have been spread about him. Joshua goes to school every day, and wishes it was holidays. I have not read many stories with this subject matter before. ![]() When I saw the great ratings this book has received I was excited to read it. It always has been, however these days with the addition of social media we not only have bulling in the school grounds, but also when we get home and are in the relative safety of our own surroundings and family. ![]() Bulling is something that is so prevalent in schools. ![]()
