I read this book back in 2001 when it was first published, but I didn't blog back then. And, so, I had to re-read! For a little book about name-calling in junior high, it has turned into quite the sensation--leading to No Name-Calling Week. Bobby is just a seventh grader, but his band of friends join forces to run for student council officers and bring attention to the hurt that name-calling does to kids.
