Gr 5-8–This semi-fictionalized premise based on Weaver’s life is one that sadly may ring familiar, with Tony Jr. being the victim of bullying in his new middle school, and the hurt and trauma eventually bringing him to a suicide attempt.

TRIBUTE Tony Heard, who died on Wednesday 27 March 2024 at the age of 86, was one of the bravest people I have known. His quiet and fearless opposition to the apartheid regime brought him many accolades, and cost him his job. He was a journalist’s journalist, a man for whom principles counted above all else. I have been privileged to work under some of the finest editors South Africa has produced.
