What Readers Are Saying:
-
I wish I could give it a four. The story is about bullying and has a great section about bullying that will open up the discussion with youth. I gave three stars because the author discusses he was bullied, but just touches on it. He spends the majority of the book talking about memories of his grandpa and moving back and forth to Florida. Would like less of that and more on the bullying experience. ~ Chris Neumann

Quick life story read about bullying with examples at the end. I think it is better for 7–8-year-olds. ~Amazon Customer
