Costumes

Summary:
At school, nine-year-old Daryl is treated like a non-person by his peers and has been bullied in this fashion for years. With no friends, he only finds happiness once a year, trick-or-treating as Princess Stephanie. No one saw Daryl on these evenings, and only his parents knew the truth. Every kid knows costumes are for Halloween, and the rest of the year you are not supposed to wear costumes. What happens when you decide the outfit you wear every day is a costume?

Stephanie decides she can no longer live only on Halloween. As Stephanie, she learns about friendship, but struggles to be accepted by peers and her parents. In the name of friendship and acceptance, Stephanie must stand up to the bullies. Will they force her back into the Halloween box where her costumes are kept, or will she find what she has always been looking for? A life where people see her for who she really is.
