YA
Four eighth-grade girls enter a local television station's Snapchat Snapstreak contest. Viewpoints shift among the four girls' perspectives; the characters' voices are similar but authentic. Emojis, text messages, and Snaps reinforce the narrative's light tone. This quick read is ideal for reluctant readers but ultimately will have a short shelf life as social media evolves.
