Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: Tori has friends. She has brothers. She has parents. Sometimes she can be bothered to talk to them. Most of the time, though, she would prefer not to have to deal with other people. Until the day she follows a trail of Post-its from her locker to a deserted computer lab, where she finds a message from a mysterious group called Solitaire. It's also where she meets Michael Holden. Irrepressibly cheerful, weird, and determined to be her friend, Michael is everything Tori normally hates. And that's it. That's where it starts. Soon Solitaire has launched a series of pranks across the school. For once, Tori feels connected, like someone is on her wavelength -- making jokes about her favorite movies, blasting her favorite song on repeat over the intercom. Then Solitaire's pranks start to go too far, and no one else seems to be concerned. Tori doesn't like getting involved. But this time, the idea of doing nothing is even worse.Summary: Tori's best friend is preoccupied with boys; her brother attempted suicide; her mother is addicted to her computer. And Michael, a new student, forces himself into her life. When a series of bizarre prank is unleashed-- and begin to turn dangerous-- Tori convinces herself that she's the only one who can put a stop to it.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The very first book from the creator of the million-copy bestselling Heartstopper books wins fans as "The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age." Solitaire features the characters that inspired the beloved webcomic and graphic novel series Heartstopper--now a major Netflix series.

This incredible debut novel by outstanding young author Alice Oseman is perfect for fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell, and all unflinchingly honest writers.

In case you're wondering, this is not a love story.

My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year--before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of exams and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people--I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that's all over now.

Now there's Solitaire. And Michael Holden. I don't know what Solitaire is trying to do, and I don't care about Michael Holden. I really don't.

Irrepressibly cheerful, weird, and determined to be her friend, Michael is everything Tori normally hates. And that's it. That's where it starts. Soon Solitaire has launched a series of pranks across the school.
