It’s a BOOK Birthday!
The birth of a debut book is often a long labor of
love, and Margo Kelly’s Who R U Really? is no exception.
Margo finished the first draft of the manuscript in 2010! More than four years
later, more than four title changes, and way-more-than four revisions … it has
finally arrived! WAHOO!

About the book:
When
Thea discovers a new role-playing game online, she breaks her parents’ rules to
play. And in the world of the game, Thea falls for an older boy named Kit whose
smarts and savvy can’t defeat his near-suicidal despair. Soon, he’s texting
her, asking her to meet him, and talking in vague ways
about how they can be together forever. As much as she suspects that this is
wrong, Thea is powerless to resist Kit’s allure, and hurtles toward the very
fate her parents feared most. Who R U Really? will excite you and
scare you, as Thea’s life spins out of control.
“Kelly
has painted a realistic picture of how a smart girl can get caught up in
something dangerous online. … Guaranteed to give readers goosebumps.” --
School Library Journal. (http://www.bookverdict.com)
“Thea’s
mistakes, while frustrating to encounter, are frighteningly plausible, and the
relationships among characters are well–fleshed out, especially between mother
and daughter. Kelly’s first novel is a suspenseful page-turner.” -- Kirkus
Reviews (www.kirkusreviews.com)
Who
R U Really?
