Sigrid Sugden is a Shrike, a member of one of the toughest group of girls in school. They are experts at blackmail, extortion and bullying their terrorized classmates. But one day, the Shrikes go too far. Sigrid realizes that their favourite victim, Prinny Murphy, is in real danger. She makes a decision that will save Prinny from danger but will turn the Shrikes anger and bullying against the former friend who betrayed them to the authorities. For Sigrid, this is a transformative moment. She wants to be a better person and begins to reflect on the events that led to her being a Shrike. Participating in their mean pranks made her feel powerful and safe. But now, she realizes she needs and wants to turn over a new leaf - make new friends and be kinder to others. But overcoming her bad girl image is a whole lot harder to do than she originally thought... Click link to read MORE!
I honestly enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would. it was a great story and I think its really cool how the author wrote different books with the same story from a different characters perspective and later i will probably read the other two books!!!!!!! :) :) ;) ;) Marley Ho-sang
ReplyDeleteThe Hidden Agenda Of Sigrid Sudgen was a very violent book and the way the author explained every moment was very detailed and exciting. -Hugo
ReplyDeleteThis book taught me many lessons. It inspired me to keep a look out all the time for people getting bullied. Sigrid was such a strong girl who had such a rough life while getting her house trashed and getting blamed for things she never did. I truly recommend this book to all silver birch readers.

ReplyDeletethis book was very harsh and very realistic in the way it was written. I thought the way the author described what was going on and how it felt made you feel like you were there. it was one of the most well written books I have ever read I am defininatly going to read the other two books.-Sophia kozak
ReplyDeleteA sad and believable story. Sigrid is going through a hard time which isn't helped by bullies Tate and Mel whatsoever. A great read, couldn't put it down.

sorry computer messed up
DeleteI really liked this book. One of the things I liked is that Sigrid becomes friends with some other former bullies. This was very sad and realistic.

I think this was a really great book. I like it because it has to do with real life problems and Sigrid was really strong by fighting back from the Shrikers. I got really sad when Sigrid got her house trashed though, I mean, Sigrid worked really hard to clean up her house, and it's actually illegal to go and trash someone's house. But it was really nice to think that she got a happy ever after all she went through.
ReplyDeleteI really thought that this book had an intense feeling when the author is describing how Tate and mel are trashing someone's house or they are blackmailing people its really descriptive but the ending is disappointing because Tate and mel dont get arrested or something. Overall, It was a really good and intense book.

This book was very interesting and had a great lesson to share on how bullying is bad. Sigrid was able to change herself from a bully into a kind person. She wanted to change her ways and she wanted to get friends and she got them. The lesson in this book is that mean doesn't win. Sigrid had a lonely life but she gained friends from being nice and in the end she understood how bullying hurts others and why people bully. Daniel R
