Title: Jekyll's Mirror

Author: William Hussey

Publisher: Oxford University Press

Publication Date: January 2015 (UK)

Sam Stillhouse is one of the maladjusted teens recruited by English teacher Miss Crail to take part in 'Project Hyde', to interact online with a series of avatars and get involved with trolling. At first he is fascinated by the project: a social networking site where you are urged to anonymously speak your mind about people. But the more time he spends on the site, the nastier he gets. The site becomes a dangerous outlet for all the anger (which he calls the Wrath) buried inside himself since the murder of his mother. The consequences are a cautionary tale.
