Lately, Zooey's so absorbed with her burgeoning ballet career that she barely seems to notice Franny. Her father is a hipster boutique owner who's constantly 'friending' her on Facebook, her mother is off in Kenya jumpstarting her stalled anthropology career, and her sister Zooey, eleven months older and eight inches taller, is a precocious, prima ballerina. What happens when your sister becomes your biggest rival?If there were a way to pick your family, fourteen-year old Franny might not pick her own. eBully draws on recent headlines about cyber-bullying, including the need to update harassment and stalking laws to reflect new technologies. And it's the last person that anybody would have suspected. It takes a lot of hard work, some sly computer sleuthing and a little dumb luck before they expose the bully. It isn't long before Scott, Tom and Carly's best friend Lisa are working together. Once he's in at Lakeland Halifax teams up with Tom Seidel, the nerdy kid that everyone loves to hate. Lukather makes a deal with Halifax: go undercover as a student at Lakeland and nail the bully in return for a ticket out of the County Detention Center and a clean slate. Thirteen-year-old Scott Halifax has a juvy rap sheet that could peel wallpaper but he's just what Lukather needs - a street-smart, tech-savvy kid with no roots. This time he's determined to stop the bully in his tracks before Gillette ends up reaching for a razor blade. This year, after a series of nasty computer messages and an indiscreet photograph of Carly Gillette spread through the student body Lukather knows it's happening again.

Last time it ended badly when the victim was found with two slashed wrists after an attempted suicide. Just like last year, an internet bully is terrorizing one of his students at Lakeland Middle School. Vice Principal Steve Lukather is desperate.
