What Happens Next is a raw, realistic story told by an unnamed protagonist who is made to feel different from everybody else-even invisible sometimes. Bullied by a girl at school, our narrator gives a terse script of the related facts (What Her Friends Do: Laugh. What Everyone Else Does: Nothing.) and emotions (How I Feel Sometimes: Bad. Really Bad.).<\/p>\n
The narrator takes these hurt feelings home, where Mom listens and offers some ideas. At school the next day, the child confronts the bully by turning a \u201cweirdo\u201d fascination with science into an opportunity to find common ground, and maybe help the bully see the world in a new way.<\/p>\n
Spare illustrations in a limited palette of blues and greens convey feeling alone even in the hustle and bustle of a crowded schoolyard. Graphic novel\u2013style panels set a steady pace for the emotional impact of this important story that doesn\u2019t simplify the realities of feeling like an outsider. It\u2019s a powerful starting point for discussions of emotions, empathy, and how we relate to others.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
