OLDER FICTION
Prose, Francine

Bullyville

(4) YA Prose spins a melodrama from the ashes of 9/11. Bart, a boy whose father was killed in the World Trade Center, gets a sympathy scholarship to exclusive all-boys prep school Baileywell, a.k.a. Bullyville. The school and the bully who torments Bart are generically rendered; the plot is similarly by-the-numbers but scripted with agile efficiency.
