Blubber by Judy Blume

4.0

Great lesson on bullying from Judy Blume. Jill is in the fifth grade and is friends with Wanda, the most popular girl in the class. After a presentation on whales, Linda, an overweight classmate, is dubbed "blubber." Jill is at first uncomfortable with the things that are done to Linda, but soon enough she is sucked into the madness.

Very realistic portrayal of fifth grade--an age where this type of harrassment is rampant. Hopefully many girls and boys will learn a lesson from Jill and Linda.
