The Hundred Dresses

Wanda Petronski, a poor girl with a hard-to-say name, sits alone in the corner of Room 13 and wears the same faded blue dress every day. When she claims to own a hundred dresses, the other girls turn it into a daily game of teasing — and quiet Maddie, who knows it is wrong, is too afraid to speak. Then Wanda wins the school drawing contest with one hundred dazzling designs, and the class learns, too late, who she really was. A gentle, powerful story of bullying, courage, and forgiveness. Each Part workbook has vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, and writing, plus history and culture background lessons.
