That fighting does not make a difference. When someone bothers you, just walk away.

I love this book because it was about confronting your own fears and dealing with bullies. The only issue is that this book is geared for a younger audience, yet many children may not know the significance of the name "Socrates" or the dream of the cave (in reference to "Allegory of the Cave").

Really not sure about this one- Deals with bullying, (thus the current classification) but the book is based on an adult book by the same name and author. Have had people ask of it more for the author connection.

We just started a unit on friendship and this was a great connection to many of the topics that have come up lately: bullying, what goes around comes around, friendship between genders and more.

The best part was that my class was totally captured by the story. It's really fun to read a book that really grabs their attention. This was a great one for that!
