From the creator of "Broken Toy" and "Joey" comes a powerful and uplifting story about a bully who had to become a victim in order to understand the pain of bullied and tormented children.

"SCARS" tells the story of a popular middle school student named Billy, whom along with his best friends, picks on a smaller boy named Christopher. Christoper, who lost his mother to cancer six months earlier, is often the target of cruel remarks about his mom.

Billy would have continued hurting Christopher if it wasn't for a sudden unforeseen event in Billy's life--an accident that changes his life forever. Now, scarred from being burned, he is the one who is “different” and his former friends turn on him. A move to a new school shows Billy the value of acceptance and he becomes a sensitive and caring person.
