The Hive - Barry Lyga, Morgan Baden

Cassie has always believed in the Hive. Social media used to be out of control, after all. People were torn apart by trolls and doxxers. Even hackers - like Cassie''s dad - were powerless against it. But then the Hive came. A better way to sanction people. Cause trouble, get too many ''condemns,'' and a crowd can come after you, teach you a lesson in real life. Entering her senior year of high school, and egged on by new friends, she makes an edgy joke online. Cassie doubts anyone will notice. But the Hive notices everything. One moment Cassie is anonymous; the next, she''s infamous. And running for her life.
