In The Bully a teenage girl struggles against lies and rumors spread by a female bully at her school. “You read about boy bullies all the time. You hear how they choose a victim. How they choose some kid who’s smaller and weaker than they are. How they pick on the kid, day after day. You hear about all the physical stuff – the pushes, the punches, the kicks. But girl bullies aren’t like that. A girl bully won’t beat you up. Instead, she beats up your brain. She makes you so scared that you wake up each day just ready to cry.”
