The Spyglass in the Attic Ciara Mcmurry

Troubled by bullies at school, Jordyn and Damian use their science fair project to make a spyglass that helps them see peoples? real emotions. Using the spyglass, they are able to see things differently and as a result, the children change their understanding of what is truly happening. In each of four stories the spyglass finds its way into the hands of children who need its help. The four short stories of the spyglass each target a different aspect of bullying, bullying in general, group violence, cliques, and domestic violence. The stories offer remarkable insights about each of these social dilemmas and show ways to lessen bullying.
