Lunch Thief by Anne Bromley


From the title I thought I knew what this was all about. But you have to read it -- it isn't a bullying story. It is a very compassionate story of surviving natural disasters. About communities coming together. Neighbors helping neighbors. A young man, new to the school, steals the lunch of one student each day. Rather than reporting it, or fighting, or even condeming the young man, he is instead made a friend with his classmates. As soon as the need is known, wow, things change for the better. This is a great 'feel good' story that our children need to hear. I hope you share it soon.
