Synopsis
“Sticks and stones may break our bones, but names will break our spirits.” Addie, Skeezie, Joe, and Bobby don't fit in at their school, and are tired of being called horrible names. Every middle school has it's own crew of Misfits, and in this tale, these kids create a new political party for the student council elections called the No-Name party to encourage people to stop being cruel to those who are different.

This is a horrible book. It was badly written. I am not saying I don't think name calling is bad, but that is the only concept in the book.

About More Than Words Inc.
More Than Words empowers youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society. More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually.
