Katie.com review
Katie.com
Katie Tarbox was 13 and she was online in a chat room and met a 23 year old "Mark". Katie had a good life. She was a nationally ranked swimmer and a pianist. Katie lived in New Canaan, Connecticut. Katie is a teen who craves attention and found what she was looking for.
As Katie has been talking to Mark for six months, Katie starts to secretly love Mark. So they planned to meet in Texas for Katie's swim meet. As Katie was in Mark's hotel room, she wasn't prepared for what happened next.
The next two years of Katie's life was losing friends, boarding school, and court. The horrible memories were unbearable for Katie. She dealt with it like no one else would have ever thought.
This book was a great experience and a joy to read. It was great because it shows how important online safety is. If a child is under 13 years of age, its important for parents to realize that kids should have parental controls to keep them safe.

The **GUY**
Katie.com by Katherine Tarbox was a great book to read. I would recommend it to ages 12 and up. I liked Katie.com because it tells about her life and how dangerous life's paths are. This book is very dramatic and interesting. It is a book that will have you hooked.
Katie.com is about a 14-year-old girl who talks on the Internet and meets a man named "Mark" who says he is 23 years old. Katie and Mark talk for over several months and finally decide to meet in person. And after what happens she talked a lot about how she regretted her decision and had to live with two years of problems because of it.
I loved this book and it was fun to read. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a book with dramatic, interest, tough decisions, regret, denial and mush more.
Rating: 5 out of 5
"THE INCEDENT"
This is the best book that I have read in a long time. It is a dramatic book because she falls apart and cries a lot after "THE INSEDENT". But young kids should not read this because it may not be appropriate. But it does teach everybody who reads this a lesson. It taught me that you couldn't always trust people on the Internet and to never go behind your parents back with this kind of stuff.
