Sophie Washington: The Snitch

By Tonya Duncan Ellis

**Purple Dragonfly Book Award First Place Winner*

Should Sophie Stand Up to the School Bully or Become a Snitch?

There's nothing worse than being a tattletale...
That's what 10-year-old Sophie Washington thinks until she runs into Lanie Mitchell, a new girl at school. Lanie pushes Sophie and her friends around at their lockers, and even takes their lunch money in this entertaining, illustrated chapter book for middle grade readers. If they tell, they are scared the other kids in their class will call them snitches and won't be their friends. And when you're in the fifth grade, nothing seems worse than that. Then a classmate gets seriously injured and Sophie needs to make a decision: fight back, or snitch?

Here's what Goodreads reviewers say about Sophie Washington: The Snitch:

"This would be a great book for the counselor, the library and the classroom ready for reading!"

"Good story about bullying and standing up for what's right."
