Beschreibung des Verlags
Les adolescents du lycée de Nottawa se réunissent tous sur NEED, un nouveau réseau social qui leur promet de répondre à leurs besoins sous couvert d'un total anonymat, quels que soient ces besoins... et quelles qu'en soient les conséquences. Car, c'est bien connu, on n'a rien sans rien. Et si au départ la contrepartie semble dérisoire, il y a bientôt des morts dans la petite communauté...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The mysterious Need network, an anonymous social network that springs up overnight, claims that it can fulfill the deepest desires of the students at Nottawa High School. At the center of the storm is 16-year-old Kaylee Dunham; while her classmates mainly seek material gain, her priorities lie with finding her younger brother a kidney donor. Need's users must follow its directions like lemmings, and a web of deceit and cruel pranks quickly becomes dangerous and deadly. Charbonneau (the Testing trilogy) focuses on a handful of classmates, mostly telling the story from Kaylee's perspective, but shifting into third person to expose other characters and help the roles they play coalesce into a thrilling narrative. Even after the diabolical source of Need is unmasked albeit through the clich of the villain explaining the plan in full detail Charbonneau still has a few surprises in store to leave readers questioning their trust in (and anonymity of) the internet and the selves we expose when we think no one is watching. Ages 12 up.
