Everyone has heard of curses and kingdoms, and magic. The Silver Bowl by Diane Stanley is about a girl named Molly who sees visions, and they always come true. When Molly works as she polishes the castle's silver pieces, and she finds the king's ceremonial hand basin. Whenever Molly touches the hand basin, the silver warms, and the design in the bowl show a vision that only Molly sees. She finds out that 100 curses had been befallen on the royal family of Westria. With her friends, Tobias and Winifred, she tries to stop the curses before they kill the last heirs of the kingdom.
In the book, Molly is mistreated by the other workers of the castle because she is just a scullery maid, and they couldn't care less about her. But throughout the book, she finds she has these abilities for a reason, and in the end, she comes out rich and a lady in the royal court. Turns out that she and her friend Tobias are so rich, they don't know what to do with all that money. This relates to bullying because some people who are bullied might be the ones who the bullies work for in the near future. It shows that because most of the servants despise Molly, but at the end of the book, she becomes a lady in the court because of her good deeds to her kingdom, such as saving Prince Alaric, who is now the king of Westria.
In conclusion, The Silver Bowl relates to bullying because of the mistreatment to Molly since she is a scullery maid, and in the end, the other servants now work for her other than her companion, Tobias. This relates to bullying because people get bullied, but in the future, the victims would be in a higher status then the bullies that tease him or her.
