(Grades 4-8) From the creator of "Broken Toy" and "Joey" comes a powerful and
uplifting story about a bully who had to become a victim in order to
understand the pain of bullied and tormented children.
"SCARS"
tells the story of a popular middle school student named Billy, whom
along with his best friends, picks on a smaller boy named Christopher. Christoper, who lost his mother to cancer six months earlier, is often
the target of cruel remarks about his mom.
Billy would have
continued hurting Christopher if it wasn't for a sudden unforeseen
event in Billy's life--an accident that changes his life forever. Now,
scarred from being burned, he is the one who is “different” and his
former friends turn on him. A move to a new school shows Billy the
value of acceptance and he becomes a sensitive and caring person. 40 minute DVD.
