Description

For the past six months, Roger has made my life miserable, bullying me relentlessly at school and around the neighborhood. The last thing I want is to deal with him at home, too—but my mom, Cindy, insists that I invite him over for dinner. She’s convinced Roger is a nice guy at heart and believes we could hit it off if I simply reached out. I try to explain what he’s been doing to me, hoping she’ll understand why a dinner invitation is such a terrible idea. Instead, she brushes aside my concerns with her usual gentle expression and contacts him herself. In Bully Gets To Spend The Night!?, a mother’s well-meaning attempt to bring two people together leaves me facing an evening with the person I’ve spent half a year trying to avoid. Cindy sees a chance for friendship; I see my bully being welcomed into my home.
