Overview

A Giant Shadow. A Small Voice. A Neighborhood Changed. For twelve-year-old David Soto, the corner bodega was always more than just a store-it was a sanctuary of snacks and neighborhood stories. But ever since the man they call ""Goliath"" took over, the bells on the door no longer chime with a welcome. They ring with a warning. Gregory ""Goliath"" Elias is six-and-a-half feet of pure intimidation, and he's turned David's favorite hangout into a place of fear. While the rest of the neighborhood looks the other way, David begins to notice shady behavior that suggest the new manager is hiding a secret far bigger than his temper. Caught between the memory of his grandmother's courageous words and the terrifying reality of standing up to a man twice his size, David must decide: Will he stay silent to stay safe? Or will he find the strength to protect the community he loves? A modern-day retelling of a timeless classic, David and the Bodega Bully is a high-stakes journey about faith, friendship, and the bravery it takes to face the giants in our own backyards.
