The Monster at Recess is a book aimed at young readers, and can be used as a jumping off point for parents to discuss bullying, gossip and the struggle between fitting in and standing out. Sophie is a young girl that is easy to feel a kinship with; my nine-year-old daughter also enjoyed the book and related to Sophie and her struggles with friendship.
