Based on true events, Accountable explores the lasting impact of online behavior and the importance of owning the consequences of digital choices. When a high school student in California creates an Instagram account filled with racist and sexist memes, he thinks it’s just “edgy” humor. But as the posts spread, they cast a shadow over everyone involved—the girls targeted by the messages, the account’s followers, and the adults who struggle to respond. Due to the subject matter, we recommend this book for older readers.
