There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom

Bradley Chalkers is the oldest kid in the class, and the loneliest. He tells enormous lies, picks fights, and nobody — teachers included — wants to sit near him. Then the new school counsellor arrives, and she does something nobody else has tried: she likes him. Funny, painful and quietly hopeful, this is Louis Sachar's classic about what it takes for the worst kid in school to make his first real friend.
