(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Sammy Greenburg is a victim. School bullies make Sammy's days miserable, but things begin to look up when he befriends a new student named Skink. When Skink is beaten by the same bullies who make Sammy's life a nightmare, Sammy creates a golem to protect them. Though utterly far-fetched, this is a likable tale with a clear and laudable message about friendship. Glos.
