Nora the Nonapus
Nora is an octopus with nine tentacles - a nonapus - who keeps to herself, afraid that classmates will not accept her because of her ninth tentacle. But when a bully threatens the students and even the teacher, Nora must reconsider her secrecy in order to save herself and her peers.

What Makes Us Differnet
Why would you do that to me?
You know I am the same as you.
I wake up in the morning and see my parents.
I too cry when hurt and smile when told a funny joke,
but to you I am somthing else;
something like a lesser being.
How could you do that to me,
I am only human.
- Thomas De Maio, 14, 9th grader

I'm the person you bully at school
I'm the person who doesn't know how to be cool
I'm the person you alienate
I'm the person you ridecule and hate
I'm the person who sits on his own
I'm the person who walks alone
I'm the person you scare everyday
I'm the person who has nothing to say
I'm the person with hurt in my eyes
I'm the person you never see cry
I'm the person living alone with these fears
I'm the person destroyed by his peers
I'm the person who drowns in your scorn
I'm the person who wishs he hadn't been born
I'm the person you destroy for fun
I'm the person but not the only one
I'm the person whos name you don't know
I'm the person who can't let go
I'm the person who has feelings to
I'm a person just like you
