In her poignant work, Jodee Blanco tells how school became a frightening and painful place, where threats, humiliation, and assault were as much a part of her daily experience as bubblegum and lip-gloss were for others. It is an unflinching look at what it means to be an outcast, how even the most loving parents can get it wrong, why schools fail, and how bullying is both misunderstood and mishandled.
Reviews:
Robin (USA: PA) (2007/12/08): very good Zah (USA: CA) (2008/03/15): This book was probably the best book I've ever read. It definitely will make you think about how you treat people. ♥princessjulia♥ (USA: DE) (2008/06/27): I read this a few years ago and still remember it which is a feat in itself for me since I read so much. I'd recommend it, like the other person said, it really does make you think about the way you treat others. Very well written. E Thayer (USA: IN) (2011/01/24): Well written, the author vividly conjures up the fear, insecurity and wolf pack dynamics of middle and high school cliques.
