Elsie's Story — Michael Murphy

"Elsie germs!" shouted the boy as he raced across the school yard looking for someone to "pass" the "germs" onto. Elsie stood alone and helpless as she saw this cruel "game" begin once again. Wouldn't anyone stand up for her? Would someone be her hero? Tears began to flow down her cheeks as she turned and fled the playground. "Elsie's Story: This Story Has No Hero" is a tale of schoolyard bullying. Complete with a "Glossary" of key terms and a reproducible "Elsie's Story Character Test" it is a powerful addition to any school or educational institution's character education bookshelf.
