Rotund Roland
()
About this ebook
Mocked and bullied for his large size by students and teachers alike, Roland Henderson was friendless and suicidal. It was not until his high school chorus teacher and a beautiful young lady stood up for him that his life began to change.
Watch as Mr. Carlson’s encouragement and Connie’s love spark a metamorphosis that changes Roland from recluse to social magnet.
From size-shaming to racial tensions, Rotund Roland deals with challenges students face.
