This book can be used in a language arts class or really any class. The book is a great read for students as it discusses bullying and finding true friends. It encourages your students to treat others the way you want to be treated. The reading level for the book is early elementary and could be used for students a little older if they are going through some of the same experiences so they can relate to someone else. ( )

This story is a great example of bullying in my opinion. It is light enough to have young children understand and have older children see the right and wrong in the words. I thought this would be a great book to use for my lesson plan and definitely read to small children to see the way they see in the book. I am curious to see what this book will bring up for high school or college students too, since it is such a big topic in the present day. It was good book to just enjoy, but it had me frustrated with Lily cause she was so young and innocent to not understand what Tamika was doing to her. Life lesson and great illustration to focus on the girls, not their ugly actions. ( )
