Empty Shadows (Bullying Prevention Series)

Editorial Review:
Description
Naomi is having a difficult time in life right now. She is still dealing with the tragic hotel fire death of her immediate family, and while living with her loving grandparents far away from old friends, she is being verbally and emotionally bullied by uncaring kids at her new school.
Every day Naomi has to come home from a bad day at school to the big, not yet home, farmhouse that belongs to her grandparents.
Her grandparents know that their granddaughter isn't very happy, and they try to show her that they love her and will do everything they can to help her with this problem at school. But at present Grandma is having her own problems to deal with; bad nightmares that seem to center around a particular moon-faced doll…a doll that is actually in Naomi's room.
Something else is happening too. `Someone' appears to be reaching out `from the past' to help Grandma and Naomi. But who is this person? Why is Grandma having these dreams in the first place; and why is this moon-faced doll an integral part of the story?
The answers to these questions and `more' are waiting to be discovered by kids and adults alike, when they see "Empty Shadows," a very moving story centered around childhood bullying. Study guide included for classroom settings.
