Publisher's Synopsis
Gwendolyn Claire, a fifth grader who loves writing, enters her new school Foxfield Elementary in late September. On her first day, Gwen meets Olivia, the leader of the Foxfield Four, a group of girl bullies who enjoys making life miserable for anyone new who enters their "world." Olivia begins her subtle and subversive attacks. Gwen's new friend Heather also becomes a victim. The girls, with support from their friends Andrew and Hermy, battle the FF. Their lives suffer from this daily onslaught. GWENDOLYN CLAIRE VS THE FOXFIELD FOUR is a unique approach to the subject of girl bullies in that it is set in a realistic school setting with realistic characters that were based on actual situations observed by Virginia Pulitzer, a retired classroom teacher with 35 years of experience. Not only is GC a compelling novel on bullies for children, but it is also an excellent resource for parents and educators addressing the issue of bullying.
