Although a short novella, this packs a lot in.
There's bullying, friendship and grief.
Lucy accidentally hands school yard bullies a nickname for
Rafaella, one which leads - in a way - to Rafaella's death. Rafaella dies under
anaesthetic, while being operated on to 'fix' her ears.
Lucy feels tremendous guilt which adds to her grief.
Rafaella's parents and brother are sympathetic towards Lucy,
and want to stay in touch.
