I do love a boarding school book!
pickSVMS has its very own bully! Big bad Dennis Cookman spends all his time bullying the entire 6th grade, beating up poor Jimmy Underwood & extorting money from Lila. Aaron, Ken, Jimmy, Liz & Amy come up with a plan to get back at him. Meanwhile, Grace wants to join the Unicorn Club & Jess tasks her with getting Dennis to join her for lunch as an initiation task. Luckily Grace saves the day in the end & saves Dennis‘ life when the Fearless Five‘s⬇️
Kids aren't born bad and when they bully there's always a story behind it. This powerful picture book looks into the issue of bullying and shows how kindness can change someone's life forever. Based on a true story. An essential read for all kids (and adults).

I never had this experience myself, but being the new kid has been written about a lot! In the tagged book the new girl makes waves in the small community where everyone has known each other forever. I'd love to hear your favorite middle grade story about a #newkidintown for today's #middlegrademonday !
