A Powerful Read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
At first, Charley is relieved when the school bullies at his new school stop picking on him and shift their persecution to Benny Mason, a gentle soul who never stands up for himself against the bullies. Charley is torn between helping Benny and playing it safe by not getting involved--after all, he tells himself, Benny's problem is not his problem. After Benny takes his own life, however, Charley feels the need to somehow make amends in some way for not being there when Benny needed him. A powerful story that focuses on the crucial role of the bystander in bullying situations.
