Blubber by Judy Blume
4.0
4 STARS
"Jill goes along with the rest of the fifth-grade class in tormenting a classmate and then finds out what it's like when she, too, becomes a target." (From Amazon)
When I first read this novel I did not really relate to the character but loved how Blume handled bully in this novel. A few years later I gained weight due to puberty and when I reread this novel I was able to relate a bit more. I had never been bullied due to my weight but I understood her feelings. I was always afraid I would be.
