Blubber: Judy Blume

Bullying sucks, but true friendship is worth fighting for.

Blubber is a thick layer of fat that lies under the skin and over the muscles of whales...

When Linda innocently reads out her class project, everyone finds it funny. Linda can`t help it if she`s fat, but what starts as a joke leads to a sustained and cruel ritual of humiliation. Jill knows she should defend Linda, but at first she`s too scared. When she eventually stands up to the bullies, she becomes their next victim - and what`s worse, Linda is now on their side...

In this bright blue edition of Blubber, Judy Blume sensitively explores bullying and self-esteem.
