Sorry I’m Not Sorry Completes Bestselling Author Nancy Rue’s Mean Girl Makeover Trilogy

New book for tweens shows solid biblical solutions to the bullying problem

sorry-cover(Nashville, Tenn.) – Bullying—it is a topic frequently discussed on the news, on parenting websites, and behind the closed doors of the school principal’s office. According to the Ambassadors 4 Kids Club, one out of every four students is bullied-and 85 percent of these situations will never receive intervention.

Bestselling author Nancy Rue’s Mean Girl Makeover trilogy aims to examine that pressing issue. Each book in the Mean Girl Makeover trilogy focuses on a different character’s point of view: the bully, the victim, and the bystander. The latest release in the series, Sorry I’m Not Sorry, tells the story from the perspective of the bully and shows solid biblical solutions to the bullying problem in a story for tween girls.

Sorry I’m Not Sorry tells the story of Kylie Steppe, former queen bee of Gold Country Middle School. After bullying a fellow GCMS student, Kylie has been expelled—and she has to attend mandatory counseling. Without her posse to aid her and others to torment, Kylie focuses on the person who stole her GCMS popularity crown: Tori Taylor. As Kylie plots revenge on Tori and attends therapy sessions, will Kylie decide to become more empathetic toward her peers?

It’s hard for tweens to imagine why a bully acts the way he or she does. Sorry I’m Not Sorry shows girls that they hold the power to stop bullying through mutual understanding and acts of love.
