Massie knows you'd give anything to be just like her.
Dylan Marvil: Massie's second in command who divides her time between sucking up to Massie and sucking down Atkins Diet shakes.
Alicia Rivera: As sneaky as she is beautiful, Alicia floats easily under adult radar because she seems so "sweet." Would love to take Massie's throne one day. Just might.
Kristen Gregory: She's smart, hardworking, and will insult you to tears faster than you can say "my haircut isn't ugly!"
Enter Claire Lyons, the new girls from Florida in Keds and two-year-old Gap overalls, who is clearly not Clique material. Unfortunately for her, Claire's family is staying in the guesthouse on Massie's family's huge estate while they look for a new home. Claire's future looks worse than a bad Prada knockoff. But with a little luck and a lot of scheming, Claire might just come up smelling like Chanel No. 19. . . .
The Clique . . . the only thing harder than getting in is staying in.

A touching, inspirational story targeted for 5-11-year olds, My Secret Bully instantly draws young readers into Monica’s world, where she is bullied by a friend and learns how to cope, survive, and thrive. Relational aggression is an act of emotional bullying hidden among tightly knit networks of friends. Instead of using knives and fists to bully others, emotional bullies employ relationships, words and gestures as their weapons of attack. Emotional bullying is often dismissed as a normal rite of passage, but research shows it is as harmful as physical aggression, with devastating, long-term effects. Name-calling, humiliation, exclusion, and manipulation are some bullying tactics Monica’s friend Katie employs. Monica learns to face her fears of betrayal and social isolation, and reclaims her power from the bully with the help of a supportive adult—her mother. Helpful tips, discussion questions, and additional resources are listed in the back of the book, which is a wonderful vehicle for parents, teachers, and counselors.

But when Bailey's talk leads to harmful rumors and hurt feelings, Maya begins to think twice about their friendship.

--MARY A. BAIRD, President/CEO, The Ophelia Project"Trudy Ludwig gives educators and parents such wonderfully useful books and TROUBLE TALK is no exception. It teaches children social justice in ways that they can relate to and take with them into their classrooms and neighborhoods."
--ROSALIND WISEMAN, author of Queen Bees and Wannabees"Everyone knows a Big Mouth Bailey. In Trudy Ludwig's masterfully crafted story the bully is not vilified and the victims aren't vengeful, but clear boundary setters. We empathize with Big Mouth and want her to grow up to be just Bailey, an asset to our workplace, our families, and our communities."
