Brief summary-Pa Lia is teased by
Matthew “Stinky” Stern just like all the kids in their second grade class. But when Stinky runs out into the road
without looking, Mrs. Hennessey’s class is changed forever. The death of Stinky affects everyone as they
share their stories about him, good and bad.
He is gone forever.
How would you use the book with
students-This book is very serious and about the death of child who gets hit by
a car. It is suggested for ages
6-9. I would use this to show students
about bullying and consequences of running out into a street. Also, it would be great to show children why
we always are nice to others.
