Bullies at School

Writing a strong, appealing story that also communicates a 'message' is almost impossible. but Theresa Breslin pulls it off. Siobhan finds herself in the unenviable position of being the victim of bullying by her classmates and lacking the confidence, courage and skills to cope. The long lost Celtic Plaid Pin that's displayed in school captures her attention and enables the 'new' Siobhan to show her true courage and face the bullies with bravery and dignity. A checklist and contact addresses at the end of the book help the vulnerable strengthen their resolve and tell them where to look for help.
