Through the Smoke (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781946425461)

Are bullies born that way, or is it a choice? An almost-eleven-year-old boy must figure this out.

We all have a story-the thousands of moments and decisions that make us who we are today. This is Tyler Miller's story. He's a fifth grader now and has already experienced thousands of moments and decisions in his young life. Many will say Tyler was a great kid until fifth grade. Somewhere during those many moments and decisions, something changed. Tyler became a bully.

This is an eye-opening story of disappointment and hurt told from a young boy's perspective. Interesting characters, an intriguing storyline, and realistic settings make this an appealing story for readers who enjoyed reading Trudy Ludwig and Gus Gustavson's Just Kidding and Trudy Ludwig and Abigail Marble's My Secret Bully.

Will Tyler remain a bully and continue to hurt those around him, or will a series of random acts of kindness help him rewrite his story?
