(3) 4-6 In this British import, secondary school is uncomfortable and even scary for Alex, who tries to avoid being bullied by simply not reacting. His neighbor David is also bullied, and David's ambiguous notes to Alex and other students--boasting "a boy is going to fly!"--turn out to be a drastic coping strategy. Realistic from a tween's first-person perspective, and ripe for discussion.
