The Bully: Carmen & Artela Cheron Holland

Artela is the meanest girl at Mt. Triumph Elementary School-a jewel of a school, where the education is first class and the majority of the children are well-behaved. Fearless and tough-and with six older brothers rumored to be gang members-Artela's bullying makes the other students miserable, and she especially enjoys tormenting her classmates Carmen and Vandie, who are best friends. With her fearsome reputation, no one dares stand up to Artela. But this young bully may have met her match in Carmen when she finally decides to take a stand against the school's most troublesome student!
