Bad Girls

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Nick Sharratt. Small for her size and overly protected by her frumpy mother, ten-year-old Mandy is the victim of frequent bullying by three girls in her class. When she befriends a brash and sophisticated girl who moves into a foster home across the street, Tanya's friendship gives Mandy the courage to face the torment at school and gain some independence from her mother. Black-and-white sketches help enliven a rather bland story.
