Blubber by Judy Blume

I tried to read this with my 8 year old for her book club at the library.
Ugh, awful. I actually aborted it and we decided we didn't want to finish the book.
Because, none of the girls have a single redeeming quality and I just didn't see it going anywhere good.
There was swearing and serious sexual harassment that would get these kids expelled and on a first name basis with the local sheriff.
Rather than try to skip over the swearing, the constant bullying - we've decided to read a book that is a little funner and something we want to pick up and read.
This may be something we think about picking up in a few years - but I think there are such better books on bullying - where the main person decides to help the person being bullied because it's the right thing to. I'd rather grab those, I think.
