{"product_id":"9781771471657","title":"What Happens Next","description":"\u003ci\u003eWhat Happens Next\u003c\/i\u003e is a raw, realistic story told by an unnamed protagonist who is made to feel different from everybody else—even invisible sometimes. Bullied by a girl at school, our narrator gives a terse script of the related facts (What Her Friends Do: Laugh. What Everyone Else Does: Nothing.) and emotions (How I Feel Sometimes: Bad. Really Bad.). \u003cp\u003eThe narrator takes these hurt feelings home, where Mom listens and offers some ideas. At school the next day, the child confronts the bully by turning a “weirdo” fascination with science into an opportunity to find common ground, and maybe help the bully see the world in a new way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpare illustrations in a limited palette of blues and greens convey feeling alone even in the hustle and bustle of a crowded schoolyard. Graphic novel–style panels set a steady pace for the emotional impact of this important story that doesn’t simplify the realities of feeling like an outsider. It’s a powerful starting point for discussions of emotions, empathy, and how we relate to others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Owlkids Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057733255408,"sku":"9781771471657","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771471657_p0.jpg?v=1763708898","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771471657","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
