7/5/2023 0 Comments The Beckoners by Carrie MacEspecially in the beginning, I felt like 'wow, that probably should've been said a different way'. Now, I'll admit it now: the writing in this book isn't fantastic. She wants out of the Beckoners group, but she can't imagine the consequences of her actions. But she's uncomfortable bullying the Beckoners' most frequent target: April, or Dog, as she is called. She doesn't really want to be in the most popular clique she just wants to fit in. (They're named after the leader of the group, Beck) Soon she's smoking with them, partying with them, and pranking with them. When Zoe, the main character, moves to a new town, she is accepted into an infamous group of girls called the Beckoners. That's why this book is so important- it addresses the issues right at the heart of bullying. I don't think anyone can honestly say they've never seen someone being bullied or teased.
