I am reading the book The Monkeyface Chronicles by Richard Scarsbrook. I like the book so far. The main character is named Phillip Skyler he suffers van der woude syndrome which is a facial deformation. He is bullied by two kids from his school Grum and Grant who happen to be the children of the schools principal. They beat him so badly that he tries to run away from school and his town. Half way through leaving he gets stopped by his mom who takes him back to school. His grandpa mom and brother all go in and talk to the school and try to tell them what happened. Phillips brother saw what they did to him but all Grum and Grants friends told them the opposite. Since the principal is the kids father he agrees with the rest of the kids from the school so his children can not get in trouble.
