She is a published poet and has worked as a journalist and a copywriter. She lives in Ukiah\, California. This is her first novel. \n\n\n\nOf Butterflies and Bullies \nMolly and her best friend Nicole are thrilled to be included in a gifted program for fifth graders\, but almost as soon as school starts in the fall\, Nicole makes new friends who pick on Molly and label her an outsider who doesn’t wear the right clothes or say the right things. This is a story about best friends\, girl bullies\, rich girls\, and girls from the other side of the tracks. It’s about friendships\, break-ups\, and the power of self-knowing. In the spirit of classic Judy Blume coming of age stories\, Of Butterflies & Bullies is a sincere story of a 10-year-old girl who learns to find her own strength to carry on during a tumultuous and unexpected experience at a new school. \n-– \n“Molly reminds us how to be brave and to keep going\, even when everything falls apart. This is an unflinching portrayal of the betrayals of middle school\, the awkward ache of it\, and a girl discovering her resilience. Of Butterflies and Bullies shakes something loose inside so we too remember how to heal.” – Melissa Eletherion-Carr\, Branch Librarian \n“As I read this book\, I was brought back to my feelings and memories of being bullied at that age. Molly’s experiences are authentic and it’s painful to read at times. As she’d go into bad bullying situations\, I’d find myself shouting\, ‘No\, Molly!’ This is a beautifully written story that will stay with me and will touch many.” Jennifer Cockerill\, Librarian \n“Dalton’s poignant book achingly recreates pre-adolescence\, when we are challenged to create our own lifelines\, and to find new\, solid ground on which we can moor our changing identity. In facing this challenge\, Molly reminds us that we all have strong\, internal navigation systems\, and adolescence is the time that we begin to learn how to listen to them.” — Laura Martocci\, PhD.\, author of Bullying: The Social Destruction of Self and My Bullied Past: Why Does it Still HURT? \n“For bright and wholesome Indianapolis fifth-grader Molly Greely\, a change of schools brings sudden and unexpected friendship challenges. As she transitions out of her comfortable neighborhood elementary school to one that serves academically gifted students on the cusp of middle school\, she’s left feeling socioeconomically disadvantaged relative to her peers\, who all wear the latest fashions and go on the most amazing family vacations. Even Molly’s longtime best friend\, Nicole\, begins to gravitate away from Molly and toward the girls in their class who gain popularity with designer jeans and the casual cruelty so often used to bolster social status by excluding others. Set in the 1980s\, Of Butterflies and Bullies will also resonate with moms who grew up in that era. Familiar pop culture references abound. A captivating debut YA novel by Jenny Dalton\, and a great pick for mother-daughter book clubs. — Lori Day\, author of Her Next Chapter: How Mother-Daughter Book Clubs Can Help Girls Navigate Malicious Media\, Risky Relationships\, Girl Gossip\, and So Much More \n“An important topic and conversation starter about how we can support girls being bullied and help them overcome and rise above. I would recommend this book! So great to read.” — Andi Long\, Founder\, Bloom Foundation \n“… beautifully captures the complex\, changing lives of preteen girls in this painful but ultimately triumphant novel of friendship and betrayal.” — Barbara Shoup\, author of eight novels for adults and young adults and Writer-in-Residence\, Indiana Writers Center \n\n\n\nBarbara Shoup is the author of eight novels for adults and young adults\, most recently An American Tune\, and Looking for Jack Kerouac\, and a memoir\, A Commotion in Your Heart. She  \nis the the co-author of Novel Ideas: Contemporary Authors Share the Creative Process and Story Matters. Her short fiction\, poetry\, essays and interviews have appeared in numerous small magazines\, as well as in The Writer and The New York Times travel section.  \n \nShoup is the recipient of numerous grants from the Indiana Art Commission\, two creative renewal grants from the Arts Council of Indianapolis\, the 2006 PEN Phyllis Reynolds Naylor Working Writer Fellowship and the 2012 Eugene and Marilyn Glick Regional Indiana Author Award. Her young adult novels\, Wish You Were Here and Stranded in Harmony were selected as American Library Association Best Books for Young Adults.  Vermeer’s Daughter was a School Library Journal Best Adult Book for Young Adults.  \n \nBarbara Shoup graduated from Indiana University in Bloomington with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and master’s degree in secondary education.
