Summary of TOP

Madison was just a regular girl, had a boyfriend, went on trips with her family, had the usual facebook, myspace thing, but that all changed when she checked her status after getting back from Ecuador on her spring break. I know this might not sound like that big of a deal, but when she did check her status someone had said all of these mean things to her friends! That's not the worst part, those things were said through her account! So now her boyfriend and her are broken up and her friends think she insulted them. Obviously,everyone hates her right now. So now I think someone wants revenge.

After extreme coffee shop conversations and talking to people at school, all Madison could get back was her five closest friends, however,the school's computer geek is on her side. Together they will join to find the creature that dares mess with the computer specialist. The suspects of all possibilities...... Conner Atkins and Kittson Pearson! After that frustrating day at school, Madison walks into her dining room to find a handsome, tall, poofy haired senior, Nate. Madison tells him the whole story and he isn't really the one to help. She is definitely still on a mission.

So, finally Madison and the computer geek get access to all that has been going on. All they have to do now is track down the person that hacked Madison's profile, which they did through the secret spy ware. Shhhhhh! But that's not all the trouble they had to go through. They had to take tons of notes about the word choice used in the hacked Friend verse file, and see how long this person was trying to destroy Madison's life through the computer! After all of that work taking notes, breaking down firewalls, and discovering how long they can keep this search up, they came down to one suspect. Finish the journey, see who hacked Madison's computer, see if she will ever reunite with the rest of her friends. TOP 8.

=Evaluation = I LOVE TOP 8! It is a very dramatic book, yet it is very interesting. I think TOP 8 is a good book for you if you like computers, drama, and well.......boys, as crazy as it sounds. Some of the vocabulary the author uses is a little confusing for a sixth grader like me. When you read this book your eyes will be glued to every page.
