Three bullied boys become inescapably linked to an 11-year-old girl who makes it her mission to repair the relationship with her brother while saving her new friend. Can she help two troubled souls? Can she obtain closure from her recent attempt to unite two lost loves? Will her school project win a prize on Parent Night? Those are some of the issues that Smoochie, only days since her lunch money treasure adventure ended, needs to overcome. Join Smoochie, her brother, and her friends as they deal with bullying, relationships, and Algebra. A gripping, heartfelt story that challenges our understanding of bullies, victims, and second chances — a compelling tale with an important lesson. The Reluctant Bully belongs in every middle school classroom.
