Blubber is a good name for her, the note from Caroline said about Linda. Jill crumpled it up dnd left it on the corner of her school desk. She didn't want to think about Linda or her dumb report on the whale just then. Jill wanted to think about Halloween. But Robby grabbed the note and before Linda stopped talking it had gone halfway around the room. That's where it all started. There was something about Linda that made a lot of kids in her fifth-grade class want to see how far they could but nobody, Jill least of all, expected the fun go ... to end where it did.
