South Carolina Junior Book Award Nomiee: Bystander by James Preller

South Carolina 
Junior Book Award Nomiee:

Bystander by James Preller

Starred Review. Grade 6–9—Eric Hayes has moved from Ohio to Long Island, NY, with his mother and younger brother. His schizophrenic father left long ago. Eric soon meets Griffin Connelly, a handsome kid with natural leadership, lots of charisma, and a real mean streak. While Griffin is the perfect bully, David Hallenback is the perfect victim: beaten down and willing to do anything to get Griffin's approval. At first, Eric is a bystander, not participating in the bullying but not doing anything to stop it. However, several events move him out of this passive role: Griffin steals from him and reveals Eric's confidences about his father; adults at school address bullying; and Mary, a girl he likes, takes a stand against it. Eric realizes that his silence makes him complicit and speaks out, only to become Griffin's next victim. Preller has perfectly nailed the middle school milieu, and his characters are well developed with authentic voices. The novel has a parablelike quality, steeped in a moral lesson, yet not ploddingly didactic. The action moves quickly, keeping readers engaged. The ending is realistic: there's no strong resolution, no punishment or forgiveness. Focusing on the large majority of young people who stand by mutely and therefore complicitly, this must-read book is a great discussion starter that pairs well with a Holocaust unit.—Connie Tyrrell Burns, Mahoney Middle School, South Portland, ME

Marjorie Amos-Frazier

 

Community Leader

Born: 1926

Death: June 23, 2010

Marjorie Amos-Frazier, once described as "a one-person social service agency with a sweet demeanor and a will of steel," has spent her life breaking down barrier. Frazier was first woman to be elected to the Charleston County Council in 1974. Amos-Frazier was the first woman, the first African-American and the first non-legislator to hold a position on that body. As chairperson of the Human Services Committee, she spearheaded the negotiations between the county and the Medical University of South Carolina for indigent health care. She was instrumental in establishing a senior citizens center in Charleston County and in creating new facilities for substance abuse programs.
