Mary Pretends is a riveting young adult novel from first-time author Todd Christopher that shines on unforgiving light on the issue of bullying and the modern day phenomenon of school-shooters. Mary is a senior at Freeport High School, where she plays for the high school soccer team, has a crush on a shy boy named Jeff, and is very much your average teenage girl. Well, almost. The only thing standing in her way of living a normal, happy life is a girl named Angie, who happens to be the star of the soccer team and is hell-bent on making Mary's life as miserable as possible. Angie's relentless bullying tortures Mary constantly, both mentally and physically, and is destroying any chance of her leading a normal life. Then one day Mary meets Kelly, the new student at Freeport, and her life is sent into a real tailspin. Caught in an emotional tug of war, Mary makes a series of decisions that ultimately lead her down a path toward self-destruction. Will this sweet, normal kid who's been pushed to the edge actually have the conviction to pull the trigger? Find out, when you reach the dramatic conclusion of Mary Pretends. Todd Christopher lives in Galloway Township, New Jersey, just outside of Atlantic City, and runs a small card and gift store in nearby Absecon.
