BULLY4U

Brian Trainor

---

This YA novel delivers an unflinching look at toxic teen hierarchies, told through multiple points of view that include both predator and prey. Through sharp dialogue, emotionally raw inner monologue, and an authentic portrayal of high school power dynamics, the story explores themes of bullying, performative identity, economic class, and psychological control. The characters—particularly Victoria, Kim, and Tiffany—are vividly drawn, each grappling with trauma, social pressure, and their own flawed coping mechanisms. What begins as schoolyard cruelty evolves into a tense psychological drama with real-world consequences, making this a compelling choice for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why, Mean Girls, or Laurie Halse Anderson’s Speak. The manuscript shows strong commercial potential and could thrive in both print and streaming adaptation formats due to its cinematic structure and topical subject matter.
