Bullying Effect

In The Bullying Effect, Mark Bishop, a bookish high school senior, must come to terms with feelings of revenge and retribution against a bully he has known since childhood, high school classmate and jock Brad McFee. In September 1988, at the Lancaster High School Homecoming Game, Mark musters up enough courage to provide Brad with the comeuppance he feels Brad deserves. This act sets off a chain of events that will affect Mark's senior year of high school, especially his relationship with first-time love Heather Harker.
