Read the extract from the story ‘How to be More Hedgehog’ and then answer the questions in the quiz.
I drop the phone and fling myself onto the couch. The video is out there in the world, spreading from person to person like a virus, and there’s nothing I can do to get rid of it. In the morning, I tell Mum I’m not feeling well. She takes my temperature and when she sees it’s normal she insists I’m fine and bundles me off to school.
“You don’t need to worry Lily, I’ve told her to stop showing it to people now.”
My stomach drops. “W-W-What do you mean? Who-who-who has she shown it to?”
“Hardly anyone, I swear. Only a few of the boys, Tomas, Aidan and Dev, I think, and some of the Year 5s who were hanging around and Patrick, and I know she showed it to Leanne, because Leanne mentioned it last night when we were all texting. And maybe a few others- not that any. Anyway, she definitely won’t show it to anyone else.”
The screen blurs as tears flood my eyes. It’s been viewed 321 times. It’s got 146 likes and two dislikes and a stream of comments. At least 146 people have watched me stammering and thought it was hilarious. What if they shared it with 146 new people?
