Why is Jenny Pinski a bully?
Writing Prompts
Have you ever had to deal with a bully? Write about your experience.
Create your own Weird World. Then draw a picture of it, or build a diorama. What kinds of plants or animals live on your Weird World?
In this book, Claudia realizes that Jenny isn’t as mean as she thought. Write about a time when you discovered that someone was different from what you expected. What did you think about the person before? What happened? What do you think about the person now?
