War Quote by R.J. Palacio
““For a while, the “war” was all we talked about. February was when it was really at its worst. That’s when practically nobody was talking to us, and Julian had started leaving notes in our lockers. The notes to Jack were stupid, like: You stink, big cheese! and Nobody likes you anymore! I got notes like: Freak! And another that said: Get out of our school, orc!””
