A girl’s bully-busting book that deals with the dilemma of ostracizing one friend and expecting every other friend to do the same.
What do you do when you have been a member of a group of friends forever and unexpectedly they decide to eliminate one of the group? That’s Carly’s problem. When she decides to stick up for Lauren, the target of the girl bullying, Carly’s life becomes miserable. She is teased, threatened, shunned, and even experiences physical bullying. Good friends, supportive parents, and school staff lend a hand and by accepting assistance from others and using her own ingenuity, Carly begins to see an end to the bullying.
