If you've ever been bullied, then help us share:
"The POWER of ONE!"
After his parents lose everything - their jobs in the factory, their beautiful country home with the white picket fence, and their dreams, Bobby’s family is forced to leave all their family and friends behind. They move into the city with high hopes of finding jobs and starting over.
But for Bobby, the struggle is about acceptance, not only from his new friends, but of his new circumstances. He must reach inside himself to find the inner strength necessary to make new friends, live in poverty and stand up to the big, red-haired bully.
"Wrong is wrong, no matter how many people do it. We must stand up for what is right. It only takes one person to speak out for what is right - the power of one! ~Bobby
Find out why he says this and how we can end bullying in our schools!

As I read this story to my 4th grade students, they were completely engaged. This book is easy to read aloud, and my students hated it when we had to stop! As a teacher, I love the message it shares: bullying is NOT ok! This story really helps students understand what bullying does to another person.
Melissa Roberts, middle school assistant principal, February 21, 2006, A heartfelt little story...
Bobby's story is the perfect tool to start discussions on anti-bullying and character development. The book is an easy read well suited for middle school readers. The subject matter and characters in the book are well-developed and believable. I would strongly recommend this book as a weekend read or as a curriculum enrichment activity. Two thumbs up!
Carrie Aarhus, a 4th & 5th grade teacher, February 20, 2006, A Motivational Engaging Read
Bobby's Story grabs and holds your attention. It teaches a powerful lesson about bullying behaviors through a powerful, fun, and engaging account of middle school life. Once you start reading this tale, it's hard to stop.
