 a ***** 5 star review

I got this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

this book was great! very heartfelt. i couldn't help but feel bad for this kid.

Ethan is 16 years old and he idolizes his dad. his dad is a computer programer and boy can he hack. his dad made a virus that would wipe out all the "e" on someone's computer. well, Ethan thought it would be some good bonding if he took it and fixed it and released it on the school site.

Being very proud of himself that his dad would watch the news or read the hacker blog site to get at least of smile from his dad he rushed home. But, to his surprise his dad didn't even noticed. even when he yelled to his dad to watch the news.

Haley is a 15 year old girl and is Ethan's step sister. his dad married Haley's mom. their parents are madly in love and Haley and Ethan have a good relationship. Ethan is jealous of Haley. Haley gets in trouble for stealing and his dad buys her the neck less that she stole. Haley gets a vampire tattoo and she gets a shopping spree at the mall. So, today of all days she cuts her hair spiky and gets red tips with a eye brow ring and she gets a movie night with dad and her friends. The funny thing is that Haley is not happy. Since her makeover she can't stop crying and she is very hateful to Ethan's dad and him. He tried playing the nice brother, all he got was yelled at.

to top off Ethan's bad day his girlfriend and best friend had asked him to join their robot team for school. So, with his help for the robot with his dads advice gets him on the wrong side of friendship with his best friend and girlfriend. now feeling alone he needs his friends more than ever

coming home from school he finds out that Haley is stating that his dad touched her in bad places and now is not in the house. Ethan thinks he is arrested for it and doesn't believe his step sister. with all the anger that he is boiling up he says the wrong things and ends up getting kicked out.

Ethan make its top business to find out the truth and save his relationship with his best friend. When Ethan uses his skills for good and not bad will the outcome change his life forever?
