In the made-for-TV movie Cyberbully , a girl named Lindsay, believing the protagonist, Taylor Emily Osment subtly insulted her during a health class discussion, goes after Taylor with unbelievable viciousness.

I would especially recommend this book to parents, teachers, and any school staff. It can give you a lot of perspective into what kids face daily. This story shows that bullying reaches deeper than a few shoves and trips in the hallway. Man, where was this book when I was in school! Growing up I often felt as if there must be some secret conspiracy, uniting all my peers in hating me, vehemently and openly.

The mystery of the Bully Book is enthralling, and the characterization of the adults as either unwilling to help or actively deterring the quest felt real, genuine, like something I would have felt at that age. I read this book in one sitting and had to sit back and just sit for a moment when I was done, to think about the secret revealed at the end and how it made me feel Over a year later, it still has me thinking.

He really enjoyed it. This is a good book to make your kids think about their actions while not being preachy at all. It has sparked many great discussions as he has worked through it. The only flaw I see in the book is its unsatisfying ending. The victim's choice of "revenge" it really isn't that at all falls far short of bringing a potential perpetrator - bully - up short.

Kids that mean are not swayed by conscience in my opinion; they haven't been taught values. It seems to me that what the protagonist attempts to do will fall on deaf ears. Other than that, the portrayal of the experiences of the protagonist are excellent. The Bully Book should be a must read for young and older readers in a world that is becoming all too familiar with the consequences of such victimization.

I think there is something in this story that everyone can relate to and hopefully be made better for having read it. See all 76 reviews. Amazon Giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz, reward your audience, and attract new followers and customers.
