Description
Wanda Petronski arrives at school day after day in the same faded blue dress, yet she claims to possess a closet full of one hundred beautiful dresses. This claim sparks a cruel game of teasing among her classmates, led by Peggy and her friend Maddie. Though Maddie often participates, a growing unease prompts her to question the morality of their actions. When Wanda's absence from school reveals a heartbreaking truth, her classmates are forced to confront the profound impact of their words and actions, learning a powerful lesson about empathy, kindness, and the courage to stand up for what is right.
