Wanda Petronski, the new girl in room 13, wears the same faded blue dress to school

every day, but insists that she has a hundred bright, shiny new ones at home.

As Wanda's story unfolds, her classmates learn the secret of the hundred dresses and with it, a lesson in tolerance, in taking responsibility and in living with the consequences of our actions.

An endearing tale, based on the Newbery Honor Book by Eleanor Estes,

THE HUNDRED DRESSES focuses on the difficult issue of bullying and how

mistreating someone because he or she is different from oneself brings

as much harm to the bully as to the victim.
