5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!

I am so glad that I was finally able to read this book. I actually live in the little city where Michael (the author) was raised, and work at the local grade school he writes about. Bullying and children's reactions to it, are troublesome. And the trauma does linger. Great read Michael, thank you!!
