BULLY BUSTERS

by Angelique Malcolm

EXPLORATIONS INTO BULLYING
YEARS 7 - 9

Meet JAKE THE APE - the biggest bully this side of the North Pole. Meet SALLY SIMPER - the richest, prettiest and bitchiest girl in the whole school. Put them alone together in the detention room and you have trouble with a capital 'T'! At first the only way JAKE and SALLY can relate to each other is to bully each other. But when they have been locked inside the class room and there is no sign of the teacher MRS GREASEBOTTOM ever coming back - strange things start to happen ....
