The Gypsy Elephant

By Lisa Dowse

The worst thing about waking up on a school morning was remembering what I hated about school mornings... I didnt want to go to school. I didnt want to face up to those girls.

Evie is a young girl who is refusing to go to school because she is being bullied by several girls. When Evies mother wins free tickets to a circus performance, she hopes that maybe this time she will be able to bring joy and fun back to Evies life. Maybe this joy will help Evie overcome her fear of the bullies and so see herself in a new light, not the way others try to impose on her.
