Principals and Other Schoolyard Bullies is a collection of eleven short stories, which, though unified by a dark theme, are diverse and surprisingly optimistic. The voices that recount the stories differ significantly, yet all resonate with the clarity of unmistakable truth. Fonda avoids the kind of graphic violence inherent in dealing with a topic like bullying in favour of focussing on qualities like courage and fortitude, sometimes displayed in the face of intimidating odds. He has a keen eye for detail, compassion for his characters, and even manages to find humour as he tackles this otherwise sinister topic.
