A school bully who nobody likes is spotted by the school counsellor as someone who has the ability to change. But sometimes the hardest thing in the world is believing in yourself. Ages: 9-11yrs.
Synopsis
Bradley Chalker is the oldest child in the class. He tells enormous lies and the teachers say he has serious behaviour problems. No one likes him - except Carla, the school counsellor. She thinks Bradley is sensitive and generous, and she even enjoys his far-fetched stories. Carla knows that Bradley could change, if only he weren't afraid to try.
