Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Grace Morgan can't stand the dirty, unkempt boy who harasses her meek and quiet cousin. But Grace soon gets a taste of the bully's hard life of poverty when her hometown of Cincinnati is struck by a serious drought, affecting both farmers and Ohio River businesses. As Grace and her cousin's family finances dry up in the drought, what can they do to help their loved ones, the bully, and a mysterious, glamorous young woman who's just arrived in town? Using actual historical events to tell a compelling fictional story, Grace and the Bully teaches an important lesson on judging others.
Ten-year-old Cincinnatian Grace Morgan is fed up with the unkempt boy who harrasses her quiet cousin, but she sees things differently when their town is hit by a serious drought and she and her family get a taste of poverty.
