Publisher Description

Winner of the Arthur Ellis YA Award and the International Children's & Youth Literature White Ravens Award.

Fifteen-year-old Zoe is new in town. The first person she meets is Beck, the leader of The Beckoners - with this ruthless gang of girls 'it doesn't matter if you beckon or not, they come calling when they want.'

Out of fear and curiosity, Zoe is initiated but then can't escape their intimidation. She gets help from unlikely sources, but is there time to help the tormented April aka Dog?

The Beckoners is a riveting, award-winning story about friendship and the importance of belonging. No teenager will be able to put it down.

"Great teen novel about the impact of bullying at a Canadian school. Builds up the tension to a quite terrifying climax. Just one gripe though - where were all the teachers at the school while the fights etc were going on? Otherwise a gripping read - I read it in one sitting."

    " This is a fantastic book for bullying read alouds. The characters are very believable and "Dog" is such a sad teen. The antagonist, leader of the all girl gang, is a very dynamic character. Look for it in our library. "

    " This book starts out a little slow, but it is an engaging read after a few pages. Zoe, the new girl at school gets drawn into a group called the Beckoners and doesn't realize until it's too late just what she's gotten into. "

    " Bullying at its worst. Very uncomfortable and violent book about a group of girls who continually attack a fellow student named April. Very Good "

    " The Beckones was a really dark real life peek into the world of young adults. There were scenes that were so painful and realistic I had awful flash-backs to my youth. The book deals with the way young people gang up on each other and how bullying develops. "

    " I really wish her editors had let her keep the original ending. I get so angry when I read books where the dogs die instead of people. It's so cheap. I would love to see how the original ending was handled. "
