Poison Ivy is not your typical Disney Channel-esque bully novel. The ringleader, Ann, and her two lackeys have mercilessly tormented a distant Ivy since her arrival to the town, dubbing her, "Poison Ivy." When Ms. Gold, an American Goverment teacher, decides to hold a mock civil trial to try the bullies for their crimes against Ivy, things don't go quite as planned.
Koss tells a story that fits in with real life more than any happy-ending tale of the victims becoming the victors ever will. Told through interviews with eight of Ms. Gold's students, the inner workings of Sea View High School's social hierarchy is revealed, as well as the minds of the students.
