Whisper to the Sky (Sydney's Journey, 1)
Sydney never thought she would be the new girl at school, but when she moves to Minneapolis, everything changes. At her old school on the reservation, almost all the kids were Indigenous, and she was known as a tough bully. Now, at her new school, which has only a few Indigenous kids, she wonders if she will fit in.
It wasn't long before she found out. Almost from the beginning, Sydney was being bullied. No one seemed to like her no matter what she did to fit in. It wasn't long before she realized what it was like to be on the other side of the issue she had caused at her last school. All of a sudden, Sydney went from being the bully to being bullied, and she didn't like it. What is she going to do now?
