Attending North Heights High School is no walk in the park, especially on the first day of school. The school gang, known as The Rebels, has a reputation for picking on lower classmen, the “Low Dawgs.” For Leon and Tyson, who are new students at the high school, this is all too true. The Rebels immediately set their sights on tormenting them, never swaying in their relentless and destructive pursuit to cause mayhem in Leon and Tyson’s lives. Throughout the school year, another new student, Nikole, tries her best to act as the peacemaker and stand up to The Rebels, but she has her own Rebel to worry about—Bailey, a fellow lacrosse team member and the coolest girl in school.
It’s clear that the bullies need to be stopped, but how…and at what cost?
According to statistics reported by ABC News, nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of the fear of bullying. What’s even more alarming? This bullying epidemic is impacting an increasingly younger demographic.</p>
This Amazon best-selling book is being turned into a film to reach an even wider audience on the topic of bullying. To bring this important story to the screen, we need financial support from people who believe in this project. We endeavor to show this film in schools throughout the nation and through various channels.
We are counting on you to help us make a difference. If we can save the life of just one child, we will be victorious.
