Alexander is the kind of kid who's scared of his own shadow-and everyone knows
you can't run away from your shadow!
Welcome to
My Life at the Bottom of the Food Chain,
Part One of
Alexander Adventures
. At Wickshire Middle School, there's one kid who's always on the lookout, always looking over his shoulder, and always worried about what might be lurking around the corner. It doesn't matter that there's never anything there... in Alexander's imagination, there
could
be!
The way Alexander sees it, he's a little fish in an ocean of sharks. He won't sit where he thinks bullies sit or go down halls where he thinks bullies walk. He's sure he can spot them from a mile away.
But now, he can't hide. Melvin wants to talk to him after school, and Alexander is sure that "talk" doesn't mean talk. He's convinced that an evil bully plot is unfolding, and it's up to him to stop it. He decides to take action and stand up for what's right...but what if he's wrong?
