I think students are going to really love the idea of a flash mob. The rebelliousness, the planned spontaneity, the power of summoning a mob.... I think kids are going to eat this up. i do hope, however, that it doesn't spawn a group of ridiculous, malicious Flash mobs because that would just not be fun.

Will be interested to see where he goes with this book. The launch sounds like it was a riot (not literally). Wished I'd been free to attend.
Read this book if for nothing else but to be informed about what a flash mob is, and what the point of a flash movie is. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 155469034X, Paperback)

The first flash mob Ian puts together himself is a sixty-plus person, four-minute pillow fight in a department store. His friend Oswald is thrilled with the event, but Julia, the one Ian really wants to impress, is still convinced that flash mobs are stupid. While Ian tries to prove Julia wrong by initiating flash mobs with political impact, Julia is busy waging war with the strict new principal at school. When Julia goes too far and gets herself suspended, Ian sees an opportunity for a relevant and persuasive flash mob.
