Griffin Connelly is a bully. Everyone knows he is a bully but no one wants to stand up to him. Really, because standing up to him might just make you his next target. Who wants that kind of trouble? He has quite a group of followers. They always seem ready to carry out Griffin's orders.
Eric is the new kid at school. He has just moved to town with his mother and younger brother after his dad left the family. Eric is struggling with the fact that his father is suffering from a mental illness. It doesn't make him any less angry at his father for leaving them but he is trying to understand things.
David Hallenback is Griffin's main target. Eric hates how David is being treated but is afraid to get too involved. What should he do? Should he be a bystander or possibly the bully's next target?
One of my favorite lines in the book comes after a class meeting on bullying. The quote is, "In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." I looked it up. This quote is from Martin Luther King, Jr. I will remember it always!
