"Bystander" by James Preller follows the story of a young boy named Eric, who starts his new life in a small town and quickly becomes a witness to bullying at his school. As he navigates friendships and the complexities of adolescence, Eric grapples with the difficult decision of whether to stand up against the bullies or remain a bystander. Through compelling characters and relatable scenarios, the novel explores themes of courage, empathy, and the impact of one's choices on others. Eric's journey highlights the importance of speaking out and taking action in the face of injustice. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
