Pick of the Week: Bad Apple - A Tale of Friendship

Bad Apple: A Tale of Friendship by Edward Hemingway (G. P. Putnam's Sons, 2012)

Mac was a good apple. He was kind. He shared with his friends. He helped clean up after art class and he certainly knew how to have fun! One rainy day, Mac takes a nap and wakes up to find a new friend, Will the worm, tickling his head. The two have so much fun together! But when the other apples notice Will, they are not so nice. "Eww! Mac has worms!" Poor Mac, the bullying doesn't cease. So, one day Will leaves and things should be back to normal for Mac. But are things better without Will the worm?
