There's a boy in the girls bathroom by Louis Sachar

This book is all about this boy, Bradley Chalkers who has "serious behaviour problems" according to his teachers, And to every student in the Red Hill School he is the "monster". Bradley Chalkers has no confidence in himself and believes that. He commit for his feelings of inablity by bullying with smaller kids. He is failing in classes and has repeated the forth grade. He cant accept the friendship of the nice new student, Jeff Fishkins. His parents doesnt even know how to help their own son. Then, after a few days, the school hired a school couselor, Carla Davis. Carla insists that students addresses her by her first name, keeps her room messy, and wears unmatched socks. She runs her one on one counseling informally, not insisting the students to go to the particular topic. Above all she does not tell the students what to do, she just help them to think for themselves. Carla encourages Bradley to reach for success, his self worth rises begins to pass, showing the teachers, students and everyone what he is capable of. This book reprsents real issues of growing up such as bullying, teasing, first crushes, moving to new cities and maintaining friendships.
