<div dir="auto">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.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, May 16, 2018, 16:18 Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association <<a href="mailto:islma@list.railslibraries.info">islma@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Out of my Mind by Draper - Very similar!<div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On May 16, 2018, at 1:13 PM, Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association <<a href="mailto:islma@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">islma@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:</div><br class="m_4981673840080518525Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"><i>Counting by Sevens</i> by Holly Sloan</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 16, 2018 at 12:18 PM, Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:islma@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">islma@list.railslibraries.info</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div><p class="MsoNormal">Our junior high teaches <i>Wonder </i>as a class novel for the entire 6th grade, but we may need to switch to another book due to the now very high number of kids who have already read it prior to 6th grade.<u></u><u></u></p>

</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for some good read-alikes that hit the theme of kindness pretty hard. Teachers are thinking of
<i>The Misfits </i>because it also provides multiple perspectives from the various characters, but I want to provide some alternatives t/o the ELA department just in case that one doesn't work out. I have a small list and want to add more.<u></u><u></u></p>

<div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<div><p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions for a beginning-of-the-year book that hits kindness as a theme that would work for 6th grade?<u></u><u></u></p>
