The story is about a thirteen year old boy named Alexander who is so worried about being bullied that he has designed an app called BullyTrack which tells you how to avoid potential bullying situations. He lives his whole life by this app which can be quite annoying to his friends.

I give this 4 stars as a childrens read, the upper age would be 13 years. Any older readers would probably see Alexander as pretty lame. There is a lot here that kids would find pretty funny and things they could relate to also. The part where the video of Alexander went viral on utube is very fitting, this would have put him up a few notches on the cool radar. Utube famous is famous even if you're making an idiot of yourself.

Now as a parent reader the book was a bit different.I saw his worry about bullying as paranoia. if this was true to life the boy should have been in counselling or seen a phycologist. This problem was affecting his whole life. He was thirteen and his parents were never home, he was left to bring himself up alone with no-one to talk to about his problems.

I would like to thank Goodreads and Rich Samuels for my copy of My Life at the Bottom of the Food Chain in exchange for an honest review
