The Cardboard Girl Gives Bullying The Flick

The Cardboard Girl Gives Bullying The Flick by Marika Spaseska

About The Book:

Meet Cora, who has curly red hair, wears a cardboard outfit and uses her colourful cubby house and special abilities to make a difference in children’s lives. She heals, dances and sings. Cora is a girl you will admire - she is fun, marvelous and brave. You will see how problems you may face, like accepting a step-family and the loss of a pet, are turned around by Cora’s help. Then there’s Erin who will touch your heart. Erin displays how she feels and acts when bullied at school - resulting in confused thoughts, regret, hurt and embarassment. Cora uses her powers to help Erin find her wings to deal with Brooke who is bullying her and a real source of stress in Erin’s life. Cora puts things right! So come along with her and discover why bullying is wrong and what you can do to stop it in its tracks!

My Thoughts:

I love that this is a children's book (well, more for tweens and teens), and that it is fiction, but yet also is a great tool for teaching how to deal with bullying. Cora is magical and a great help to Erin. Of course, she is a redhead, so you know I like that *wink*. I think this is a great book, with a catchy cover, and easy to read and understand. On the cover it says The Cardboard Girl Series, so I sincerely hope there is more after this book, as I think it is a great book for young girls.
