A book about why bullying is bad and makes bad things happen. (I probably shouldn't be so sarcastic, given that this book was written a few years before the media decided it was An Epidemic, but...I'm world-weary and cynical now, and I didn't even enjoy it that much when I read it in 2007.)

I was doing a favour for my mom and step dad when I found this book in the back of the truck. I’ve been having a really rough year and I’ve turned to reading as a way to grieve, but also as a healthier habit. I contemplated reading this book, put it back in the truck when I was finished not sure it was a book I’d want to read. It was from the elementary school my mom janitors at so I figured it would be too young for me. After my parents came to pick up the truck I noticed they left the book on the shelf in my garage. I thought it was funny, how life was giving me a second chance. I brought the book up to my mom and turns out she left it in the truck for me to read. I spent all day and read the whole book, not wanting to stop and put it down. Maybe a simple read to others, but to an adult who hasn’t processed her highschool years and childhood trauma.. this book was more than that. Thank you mom. 🤍
