Wounded Bird

Sylvia thought her best friend, Lilly, could do no wrong. Sylvia always had viewed Lilly and herself as model citizens. When Sylvia heard Lilly making fun of Duncan, a boy in her class who had Autism, those views completely changed. She found herself hurt by this event and questioned their friendship. Lilly's comment shed light on behaviors Sylvia never thought she was capable of. As Sylvia explored how her grandmother's mental illness affected her family, she realized her friendship with Lilly was at risk.
