In 1976, Calvin Arthur and his classmates are learning jealousy, humiliation, bullying, anger, and more from each other. These topics were not taught in public schools by the teachers so many students had to figure them out on their own.

Teachers can use this as a read aloud. Discussion questions following each chapter for teachers/readers can be: What went wrong? What should have happened? How would you feel if this happened to you or someone you know?
