Friend Me by Sheila M Averbuch
Seventh grader Roisin hasn't made a single friend since moving from Ireland to Massachusetts, where her brother collects friends easily, and her parents are absorbed in their high-tech jobs. They don't spot that Roisin is dissolving under constant abuse from a bully at school.
Sheila M. Averbuch is a former tech journalist who's interviewed billionaires, hackers, and would-be Mars colonists. She writes fiction for middle grade and is bewitched by and suspicious of technology in equal measure. Sheila cofounded the Scotland network of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and was first winner of The Hook, SCBWI's national live pitching competition in the UK. She's a 2019 awardee of the Scottish Book Trust's New Writers Award and has read her work at the Portobello Book Festival and Listen Softly. Originally from Massachusetts, Sheila did a degree in history and literature at Harvard and a journalism MA at Stanford before moving to Ireland, where she covered the Northern Ireland Troubles for USA Today and set up Ireland's first IT news service. She's founder of the content agency ENNclick and lives today with her family in Scotland, outside Edinburgh.
