Shattering Glass by Gale Giles
Turning the class goat into class favorite was Rob Hayes goal. Simon Glass was an outcast always on the outside. At B’ Vale High there where different cliques; the Goths, rockers, preps, band kids, the popular kids, and the jocks; Then there’s the nobody’s. Simon Glass was a nobody. Rob Hayes transferred to B’Vale from “out of state”. Rob takes over as the most popular guy among other things in school. Lance who used to be very cool lost everything so he retaliates by picking on the class goat. Rob disapproves and has to do something. Rob formulates a well formed plan to get his friends involved in it. Simon becomes a science project that goes wrong. Simon takes a stand for outcasts everywhere.
This novel is amazingly shocking, reveling and dramatic. It has twists and turns that will have you in a daze, I sure was. I would recommend this to all high school students. Especially those of you who are outcast there’s one in everybody.

Hey, i just wanted to say that the “Shattering Glass” is an AMAZING book, its full of suspense, and it never gets boring like most books do 5 minutes into it. You just want to keep reading more and more. I used to hate reading, and i really still do, but this book is something i can read on my free time and not fall asleep.
