Very important book - Best of 2008?

When asked recently by Sonja Cole of Scholastic, Inc. to reflect on the Best Books of 2008, one title stands out in the way it poignantly raised social awareness in addressing a very real and serious issue, with great style and voice.  For me, this book is a very important one for all teachers, parents, and students to read and share.  It's LETTERS TO A BULLIED GIRL: Messages of Healing and Hope by Olivia Gardner, with Emily and Sarah Buder.
