Description
When a new student arrives with a reputation for being “slob,” the classroom’s teasing quickly turns into something more complicated than a simple label. As friendships shift and misunderstandings pile up, the story follows how small choices—what we say, what we ignore, and what we assume—can either deepen hurt or open the door to empathy. With a sharp, accessible voice, Ellen Potter explores themes of identity, belonging, and the power of perspective in everyday school life. Blending humor with emotional insight, this novel invites readers to question how quickly we judge others and what it takes to see the person behind the stereotype.
