What happens when teasing goes too far? This classic middle grade novel from Judy Blume addresses the timeless topic of bullying and has a fresh new look. “Blubber is a good name for him,” the note from Charles said about Lincoln. Joel crumpled it up and left it on the corner of his school desk. He didn’t want to think about Lincoln or his dumb report on whales just then. Joel wanted to think about Halloween. But Roberta grabbed the note and before Lincoln stopped talking it had gone halfway around the room. There was something about Lincoln that made a lot of kids in his fifth-grade class want to see how far they could go…but nobody, Joel least of all, expected the fun to end where it did. In an honest exploration of childhood bullying, this story is told from the perspective of the bully. While he's not the worst in his class, Joel still participates in bullying Lincoln, and it takes a drastic turn of events for Joel to understand the consequences of his actions. Written in Judy Blume's celebrated candid style, Blubber is a story of bullying, self-discovery, and what makes a true friendship.
