Phebe's First Day of School

About the Book

Phebe is an only child and has always been homeschooled up to the age of nine, not because she wasn’t smart but because her parents wanted to shelter her from public school because of the large birthmark on the right side of her face. Phebe gets her wish to attend a public school after begging her parents multiple times. As Phebe exits her mother car for her first day of school, she doesn’t know what is in store for her on the other side of the doors. As she enters her classroom with a huge smile on her face, she is excited to make new friends. But will Phebe’s first day of school become a bullying nightmare?
