Book 14 - The Bully Book

Book 14: The Bully Book by Eric Kahn Gale

This is a good book for Middle Schoolers. The reason I didn't finish it is because I cannot read things
that have to do with bullying. However, I think male students, especially reluctant readers, will find this book very interesting.

This book is also on the 2014 Illinois Reads list. Each year, Illinois chooses six novels from Illinois authors per age/grade brackets which they encourage readers to check out. This is to promote literacy in Illinois. Click here to check out their site.

"What is The Bully Book? Part mystery, part tragedy, part comedy. Originally self-published as an ebook by a member of Team Starkid, The Bully Book is now available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook editions. The paperback includes a Q&A with the author.
Eric Haskins, the new sixth-grade bully target, is searching for answers. And unlike many of us who experienced something awful growing up, he finds them. Though they may not be what he expected.
When the author was eleven, he was bullied. This book is loosely based on incidents that happened to him in sixth grade.
The Bully Book is a Top Ten Indie Next List pick of 2013, and Publishers Weekly called The Bully Book a 'gripping debut novel.'" [Amazon.com]
