Bully Be Gone

2007-05-08T10:23:00.002-05:00

Bully Be Gone is about a girl named Millicent Madding. Millicent lives with her Uncle Phineas. Millicent lives with her Uncle because her parents invented a time machine and they went into it one night and never came back. Millicent has taken to her parent's and uncle's hobby in being an inventor. One day a few weeks before school started there was a Wunderkind club meeting. Millicent went to the meeting to pitch her new invention: BULLY BE GONE. In this fast pace novel Millicent learns to take things as they come to her. My group believes that if you have a good sense of humor then you will enjoy this book.
