I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. While it is not something I would typically read it was quite good for what it was. I have some friends who I could definitely see really enjoying this book.

I received this book as a Goodreads Giveaway and I had heard nothing about it besides raving reviews. I had no idea what the book was about it where it was going to take me. It was beautifully written.

Taken from my review from Goodreads:
This book will hit you hard. Sometimes, the poem format feels out of place and I would prefer to read it as a novel, but the flows are good and the message is genuine.

A wonderful story, told in rhyme, about Bristle the Red Squirrel and his family and their plight against the Grey Squirrels. Each page is richly illustrated, inspiring many talking points for younger readers.
I got this book from Goodreads for review.

Christine A. (965 KP) rated School Lies in Books
Feb 28, 2019
When I read the description of School Lies by Kimberly G. Giarratano on Goodreads I could not wait to start it. “Guilt, lies, and betrayal–all before first period.” What a great tagline.
Unfortunately I thought the book was just OK, 2 stars using Goodreads’ rating system. There seemed to be a lot left out of the story. It felt as if it was only allowed to be a certain length and much of the story needed to be deleted to fit the length or if this was a second book in a series where I had not read the first book.
I could not relate with the characters and the story felt as if there were gaps in it. I would have stopped reading except the writing was adequate and I did not hate the book. Also, the page was less than 300 pages so I was well into the story and did not have much left before I thought of stopping. The book has a high rating on Goodreads, 4.0, and I would be willing to give Kimberly G. Giarratano a 2nd read but I would not put her at the top of my “authors to try again” list.
