Books with title Rocks and Stones

Who hasn't been bullied, or known of someone who has? It may have been years ago, and all but disappeared, but a bullying incident can impact a person's future. Many of the tragic events that have taken place in schools in recent years have come as a result of a child who has been bullied, and decides to even the score. Sticks and Stones addresses this very relevant issue of bullying. Thirteen-year-old Sarah Jo Foster finds herself dealing with bullies at the school she attends, after her family moves to a new town. Because she was home-schooled, she is completely out of her element as her bullies torment her. Specifically a group of four, two girls and two boys, the bullies make her life nearly unbearable. Her strong faith in God, as well as her good friend Abby, buoy her up during her darkest hours. But is it enough? Will she find the strength to prevail over her enemies? This book was written with the intention of showing young readers that they are not alone in the world of bullying. An easy read, Sticks and Stones is an absorbing vehicle that transports the reader through it all, with solutions of a practical and spiritual nature for young people to draw on.

Jujube is thrilled when Brent asks her out. She is not so happy when the rumors start flying at school. Pretty soon her name is showing up on bathroom walls and everyone is snickering and sniping. When her mother gets involved, Jujube's reputation takes another hit. Deciding that someone has to take a stand, Jujube gathers all the other girls who are labelled sluts and worse and tries to impress on her fellow students the damage that can be done by assigning a label that reduces a person to an object.
