Author 39: Julianne Moore, Actress/Author

Freckleface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully by Julianne Moore. There are a number of actors/actresses, singers, personalities, etc... that have written books. This one talks about facing your fears and trying to understand others. Maybe there's a few out there that were not apprehensive about dodgeball but I was one who wanted the game to end quickly with a minimum number of hard hits. There were teachers that encouraged "gentle" outs and others that wanted us to "toughen up" and take our hits without a whimper. I think this book has a point that sometimes the anticipation is worse than the actual action and sometimes bullies aren't the same in real life as in our imagination.
