Otterly Awful

Lizzy can’t understand why her girl pals have suddenly shut her out of their cosy clique, via text no less! They have turned utterly mean and she’s both bewildered and hurt. Why do best friends sometimes morph into the worst bullies ever? Join Lizzy as she realises how things are often not what they seem. The Series Figuring Life Out is a book series offering relatable stories that help children to better understand and appreciate themselves while developing positive relationships with others. From an otter going through friendship woes to a group of friends dealing with competition stress, these engaging tales introduce readers to valuable social-emotional skills* such as: Self-awareness, stress management, conflict resolution, responding to bullying and responsible decision-making. *These skills tie back to the core social-emotional competencies stated in the Ministry of Education's 21st Century Competencies.
