If This Were a Story

by Beth Turley

Ten-year-old Hannah loves words and stories, and she often wishes her own life could be one. In fifth grade, her parents fight at home and mean anonymous notes at school tell her nobody likes her. Hannah tries to make sense of it all by thinking about her life the way a writer would. It's a gentle, honest story about bullying, family trouble and the comfort that stories can give, and it shows a girl who turns out to be stronger than she knows.
