Blubber
Blubber

Navigating bullying, valuing true friendship.

"Blubber" strikes a chord with anyone who's ever experienced the sting of bullying or wrestled with the moral dilemma of standing up for what's right versus self-preservation. Judy Blume, with unflinching honesty and a gentle touch, captures the complexity of peer pressure and the resilience it takes to rise above it. It’s a book that not only young readers but anyone looking for a journey through the emotional landscape of school life will find resonant.

Description

Blubber is a good name for her, the note from Caroline said about Linda. Jill crumpled it up and left it on the corner of her school desk. She didn't want to think about Linda or her dumb report on the whale just then. Jill wanted to think about Halloween. But Robby grabbed the note and before Linda stopped talking it had gone halfway around the room. That's where it all started...there was something about Linda that made a lot of kids in her fifth-grade class want to see how far they could go...but nobody, Jill least of all, expected the fun to end where it did.
