Today's giveaway is CAMP by Elaine Wolfe. This is a powerful story that you definitely want to read. Elaine has been super generous and donated two copies to give away.
Every secret has a price.For most girls, sleepaway camp is great fun. But for Amy Becker, it's a nightmare. Amy, whose home life is in turmoil, is sent to Camp Takawanda for Girls for the first time as a teenager. Although Amy swears she hates her German-immigrant mother, who is unduly harsh with Amy's autistic younger brother, Amy is less than thrilled about going to camp. At Takawanda she is subjected to a humiliating "initiation" and relentless bullying by the ringleader of the senior campers. As she struggles to stop the mean girls from tormenting her, Amy becomes more confident. Then a cousin reveals dark secrets about Amy's mother's past, which sets in motion a tragic event that changes Amy and her family forever.Camp is a compelling coming-of-age novel about bullying, mothers and daughters, and the collateral damage of family secrets. It will resonate with a wide teenage readership. Camp will be a strong addition to school recommended reading and summer reading lists, and it is appropriate for anti-bullying programs. Mostly, though, Camp is a mother-daughter story for mothers and daughters to share.RULES:

Spreading the word about it! Helping kids and young ones to know about Bullying.
Putting up flyers at work is how I would help spread the word.... Thank You for this awesome giveaway..... :)
We have to explain the kids what it means Bullying. Kids need to understand that we have to stand for treating people fairly, with respect for who they are; We stand for speaking up for those who are not treated with respect; We declare that we want to go to school and live in a community that treats everyone with respect;
Thank you for the giveaway!

Since I'm a fifth grade teacher I deal with bullying a lot. Making sure kids see the signs of bullies, and making sure bullies understand what it is they are doing and how they can hurt people is a vital part of the curriculum.
By creating awareness. This year, by talking to my fellow pre-service teachers about bullying and the importance of both teaching our (future) students about bullying and recognizing it ourselves.
By telling people about it :)
