Book Description:

Blubber is a good name for her, the note from Caroline said about Linda. Jill crumpled it up and left it on the corner of her school desk. She didn't want to think about Linda or her dumb report on the whale just then. Jill wanted to think about Halloween.

But Robby grabbed the note and before Linda stopped talking it had gone halfway around the room.

That's where it all started...there was something about Linda that made a lot of kids in her fifth-grade class want to see how far they could go...but nobody, Jill least of all, expected the fun to end where it did.

Great Judy Blume book about bullying in a 5th grade class. Has aspects of leadership, control, admitting guilt and paying the consequences. Shows a number of different personality types. This book was written in conjunction with 2 supervising 5th graders.

Another wonderful children's book by Judy Blume which discusses the effects children can have on one another, especially when hurting one another's feelings.

A great book about harrassment and so-called "teasing" in school.

This is the 1974 edition and so its pages are a bit brown. Otherwise, quite good shape
