I recommend this book to all parents and also to anyone who was bullied or who realizes he/she was a bully in past years. Since she went through it - and survived - Ms. Blanco offers not only her story but insight into what does and does not help kids who are tormented. Some of the events are appalling - how can people be so horrible to someone because she's "different" - and show just how important it is (for some) to be accepted by their peers, even when it means hurting others. The ending, although happy, is surprising when you find out how the events are remembered by the bullies.
