Amelia Taylor, or Amy as she likes to be called, misses Wallace Elementary, her old school, and her long-time friends. She especially misses Naomi Davis, her best friend.

This year, her parents are making her attend a new school, Longwood Academy. Not only does she have to deal with being lonely, but for some reason several of the girls in her new fourth grade class have decided to make fun of her clothes.

Amy understands that her parents brought her to this new school to give her more of a challenge. She hopes that dealing with the bad behavior from her classmates isn't the challenge her parents wanted for her.

How does Amy solve the problem of the daily bullying, taunting, and teasing from her classmates?

Vicki D. King, who once wrote romance novels, recently delved into a scripturally based compilation of inspirational blogs, and has now added children's books to her repertoire. Although Amy's New Dress is not the typical children's story, it carries a strong message that brings to light the issue of bullying and bad behavior in schools. The author has been married to Bill King for over 30 years. They live in Ohio, and have two grown children and two grandsons.
