NEED by Joelle Charbonneau

Dark, intense, and worrisome but boy was this a great read.  A gripping look into what happens when people (especially teenagers) think they can do harmless tasks in order to get the things they need…

 

When a new social network pops up promising to fulfill any need, 16-year-old Kaylee Dunham knows it’s too good to be true. It’s one thing to deliver new phones, computers, or sports equipment, but how can an anonymous site give Kaylee what she needs—a kidney for her little brother? Kaylee joins NEED to please her best and only friend, Nate, but starts to worry when NEED begins asking users to complete tasks in exchange for getting what they want. The tasks seem harmless enough at first, until a student turns up dead, and Kaylee finds out the lengths to which some people will go to get what they think they need. —Kimberly Ventrella, Southwest Oklahoma City Library for School Library Journal
