Words can lift someone up-or leave a scar.
Daniel loves to laugh and make people smile. But sometimes his jokes come at someone else's expense. He never meant to hurt anyone... until one day, the damage becomes real.
When a new boy arrives at school-and Daniel's own little brother becomes the target of bullying-Daniel is forced to face the painful truth: some names stick. And the ones he gave may have done more harm than he thought.
What follows is a powerful journey of guilt, empathy, and redemption. A heart-to-heart conversation with his mom reveals a secret from her past-and gives Daniel the courage to become someone different.
The Weight of a Name is an unforgettable story about the power of words and the strength it takes to change. With gentle emotional depth and real-world honesty, this story will resonate with readers who have ever been hurt... or done the hurting.
Perfect for fans of Wonder and Because of Mr. Terupt, this is a story every classroom-and every heart-needs to hear.
