"...beauty doesn't really have anything to do with what we look like. It's who we are inside and what we do in life."
This book really makes you think twice about volunteering at your child's school. Most have done this and haven't thought to the possibility that they might get sued if something goes wrong. Rose McKennah is volunteering as lunch lady when there is an explosion in the cafeteria and her daughter is trapped in the handicapped bathroom behind a wall of fire. Rose decides to delay Melly's rescue until three girls she had been talking to about bullying get out of the burning cafeteria. She heroically rescues her daugher and then is accused of heartlessness and selfishness when one of the three girls is critically injured in the fire. Rose uncovers a plot involving murder and a crooked politician. Great treatment of bullying and its ramifications.
