Great Judy Blume book about bullying in a 5th grade class. Has aspects of leadership, control, admitting guilt and paying the consequences. Shows a number of different personality types. This book was written in conjunction with 2 supervising 5th graders.

Another wonderful children's book by Judy Blume which discusses the effects children can have on one another, especially when hurting one another's feelings.

Do I really need to write a review for this book? It's BLUBBER, for godsakes! Judy Blume rocks. It's awesome to be able to revisit the classics as I introduce my nieces to her work. If you haven't read this one in a few (too many) years, do. Then pass on to the ten-year-old girl in your life.

One of the classic books I remember from childhood, and still relevant today: a girl learns a lesson about bullying. I love how realistic Judy Blume's characters are, adults and children alike, far more nuanced than an after-school special.
