Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books The Bully Book

Actual rating: 4.5 stars

I think I can count on exactly one hand, minus one or two fingers, how many Middle Grade novels I actually enjoy. Now I have one more to add to that number. I admit to being very skeptical of MG for myself because they just don't usually work for me. I can appreciate them from a literary standpoint and may even recommend a few titles to younger readers, but do they entertain this picky reader? Nu-uh. But I decided to give it a chance because I liked the premise. Guys, I am shocked because I really loved this book! There is only one other MG novel that had me this excited and that was A Monster Calls for obvious reasons. (I mean, c'mon. That books just freakin' rips your heart out.) But The Bully Book was hilarious and utterly charming. 

The reason why I think I connected so well with this book is because it covers a topic that everyone must have dealt with at some point in their lives as kids. Once upon a time I was bullied in school by a group of girls. I remember thinking it was some type of conspiracy since I had barely said three words to them. I was a pretty laid back kid and didn't enjoy conflict. Whatever the reason, I guess I was easy pickings for them. And no matter how many times I tried to defend myself and appeal to my teachers, I was the one always in trouble. It was then that I realized one very important fact of life: kids are evil. But then I grew up to be a beautiful runway model, rolling in the green stuff and they did not. Well, not really, but it sounded awesome at age 10.

In a place where hormones are at first bloom, where no one wants to be left out and everyone wants to be accepted, it's not hard to see the potential for problems. That's where we find the main character Eric. He essentially discovers that he has been labeled "The Grunt" of his grade and proceeds to become the victim of bullying even by a boy who was once considered his best friend. But what I loved about Eric, besides his witty comments, was his determination to not sit back and accept this role his peers decided for him.

The Bully Book chronicles Eric's quest to discovery with both journal entires from himself and pages of the actual Bully Book. I really enjoyed this stylistic choice because it added a nice layer of mystery and suspense. Eric is racing to find the original creator of this book that was systematically created to ruin one kid's entire school life. It was so compelling, I found myself caught up in the allure of discovering the author as well.

By the end, though the book is short, I realized just how many issues it tackled: Mob mentality, peer pressure, emotional distress of a child that is bullied, the conflicted feelings of bystanders unsure of how to help and, ultimately, the ramifications of the damage it does to a person's self-confidence well past when the bullying ends. These are huge issues and I feel the author did such a great job of presenting them in not only a thought-provoking manner, but in such a way that didn't bore me to tears.

I was *this close* to not reading it, but I've learned something from this experience. Your next favorite read can surprise you and come in the most unlikely of packages. This is a great read for kids that seamlessly entertains and enlightens. One that I'll be gifting to a certain special kid.

Appraise Of Books The Bully Book
It's by people from Starkid Productions, so naturally I'm loving it so far :-D.



An interesting story about bullying that is loosely based on the author's experiences. It is a quick, enjoyable read with a positive message.It saddened me that the teachers (view spoiler)[ seemed oblivious to the torment that Eric's classmates were putting him through (hide spoiler)].I loved the ending. It gave us a powerful resolution and Eric really seemed to learn a lot about who he was and wanted to be.

Okay. I'm just going to say this is is an absolutely amazing book. I think it's supposed to be a children's book (I'm really not sure) but let me tell you, this is a book for everyone. People who have been bullied, have been bullies, have never been bullied - whatever. From the moment I started reading this book, I was drawn in. I read this in one sitting. At many points in the book, I felt like I was about to cry, and at one point, I did.I think I'm one of the luckier ones, since I've never

Eric has just started the 6th grade and his life couldnt be worse. Three boys, one of whom was his best friend have made it their mission to make his life miserable. They are turning the class against him and even the girl he likes is becoming more distant. Whisperings of a secret book that tells you how to be the most popular kid in the school reaches Eric and he realizes he must find out the truth or he will be the grunt in his class forever! An inspiring story that is great for children,

This is a book about a boy named Eric Haskins who is purposedly getting bullid by other kids so they can seem popular.I would recommend this book to anyone because it is a good book about middle school

Let me tell you about something called The Social Order. You can't see it, smell it, or touch it, but it's everywhere and it controls everything. It says who's cool, who's lame, and who's not worth talking to. What is it saying about you? Look around your class. Where do you fit in?This was a great book about bullying. It is a story of a bully "guide" book and a journal style by another boy named Eric.although the day to day awful struggles are powerful, by far the last chapter is the strongest
