    Alt Ed
    by Catherine Atkins

    Susan Calloway, bullied and overweight, faces daily humiliation at thehands of her classmates—and she’s had enough. With her anger about to reach the boiling point, Susan lands in an alternative education class, a sort of group therapy for the nearly expelled. School is bad enough, but facing off with five peers, including her cruelest tormentor, is worse.



    Now Susan is being forced to do something she’s always avoided—talk about herself and listen to what other people have to say about her. She has two choices: find her voice, or be prepared to take the insults in silence. It won’t be easy, but alt ed may be just the last resort Susan needs.
