Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
Poison Ivy by Amy Goldman Koss
2 good non-fiction books:
Letters to a bully girl by Olivia Gardner &
Girls Against Girls by Bonnie Burton
Great Idea.
Sticking to fiction, but thanks. Will add those titles.
Mitali,
good idea.
I thought of "The Truth About Truman School," by Dori Hillestad Butler (Albert Whitman, 2008).
Oops! I see that you have the novel I mentioned.
Found your site on Face book, YA Authors Against Bullying. I listed 2 books I have written for YA and would like to add to your list.
The Puppet Triangle and Steps to Justice is the sequel.

Thanks for posting this. It's such an important issue with Facebook and cell phone bullying added on. My 13 year old daughter and I just finished 13 Reasons Why. A great book. You've got a lot of other really good ones on your list.
Wow, this is so incredible. I had no idea there were so many (but that is a very good thing). Have you ever considered of making this a feature on your blog? I love both this list and the one on forgiveness.
Of course it's middle grade, but Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich does such a good job handling bulling in "8th Grade Superzero." So does Rita Williams-Garcia in "One Crazy Summer."
Mitali,
You should add Scrawl, by Mark Shulman. Just out, and written from the point of view of a bully...
Hi Mitali,
Please add my verse novel ORCHARDS, (Delacorte, Feb. 2011). Thanks for this important list.
Nice list! I am preparing a literature circle list for high school English and this really helped. I just finished Leverage and would add that to the list.
