I wasn't looking forward to prompt 20: Revenge Story because many of the choices seemed so unpleasant. However, I stumbled upon this book where the ideas of revenge and forgiveness are big themes. I wanted to offer it up as an option to those people who are not interested in reading books with murder plots and cheating partners and such.

An Orthodox Jewish girl who has few friends gets roped in playing pranks by her seemingly perfect classmate and finds out what lies behind her peer's perfect veneer. Wonderful in its subtlety, the tale recalls how cruel youngsters can be (adults too, for that matter) and the things that shape us.
