Fifteen-year-old Zoe is not happy when her mother moves her and her baby sister to another town. There she falls in with a ruthless gang of girls at school. Beck Wilson, burned with a fork by her father, is the leader of the Beckoners -- with this girl hang 'it doesn't matter if you beckon or not, they come calling when they want.'
Out of fear and a desire to fit in, Zoe is initiated, but needs help from unlikely sources to tear loose from their intimidation, and to help the tormented April.
'The Beckoners' is a chilling portrait of bullying and violence, the price paid when you stand up for what is right, and what happens when adults turn a blind eye. This is a novel no teenager will be able to put down.
