Larger-Than-Life Lara is a story about ten-year-old Laney Grafton and
the new girl in her class―Lara Phelps, whom everyone bullies from the
minute she shows up. Laney is just relieved to have someone else as a
target of bullying. But instead of acting the way a bullied kid
normally acts, this new girl returns kindness for a meanness that
intensifies . . . until nobody remains unchanged, not even the reader.
In a unique and multi-layered story, with equal parts humour and angst,
Laney communicates the art of storytelling as it happens, with chapter
headings, such as: Character, Setting, Conflict, Rising Action, Climax.
And she weaves an unforgettable tale of a new girl who transforms an
entire class and, in the process, reveals the best and worst in all of
us.
