Synopsis
A tween social media queen is forced to give up her phone and learn that there's more to life than likes in this M X novel from the author of The Hot List.
Karma Cooper is a seventh grader with thousands of followers on SnappyPic. Before Karma became a social media celebrity, she wasn't part of the in-crowd at Merton Middle School. But thanks to one serendipitous photo, Karma has become a very popular poster on SnappyPic. Besides keeping up with all of her followers, like most kids at MMS, her smartphone--a bejeweled pink number Karma nicknamed Floyd--is like a body part she could never live without.
But after breaking some basic phone rules, Karma's cruel, cruel parents take Floyd away, and for Karma, her world comes to a screeching halt. Can Karma--who can text, post photos, play soccer, and chew gum all at the same time--learn to go cold turkey and live her life fully unplugged?
