[ISLMA-Share] Read-alikes for Wonder?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle - author is Leslie Connor. The bullying
is more intense and serious leading to a life-threatening situation, and
the resolution for the responsible character is uncertain, but it is a
powerful story of the need to be kind and to act on behalf of bullied
persons.  In addition to the bully, there is a bystander subplot.  Not sure
if this is exactly what you are looking for, but it's a very good story.
